In the São Paulo metro, the city is alive Saw you from afar, a glimpse passing by And when I turned, oh, my dear lord The one with mandalas, mesmerising my soul Halfway there, halfway there (you caught my eye) One lace undone, on knees, heart on fire Your glance was the spark, we were close to the wire I caught your words, though lost in the air We stepped off slow, no longer strangers there Halfway there, halfway there (we said hello) A spark through the noise, we slipped into flow We drifted through hours, the words knew where to go We shared our tattoos, like secrets in the ink A time and a place, then the pause on the brink Halfway there, halfway there (your word felt like home) Your replies slowed down, like dusk in the air A tightness grew, the magic, barely there I asked myself softly: What did you see? Still unsure if your gaze found the real me Does this bond I'm weaving truly hold? Forgive me, but before you Another bond was there So it's better to say no Yeah, it's better to say no Yeah, now it's better to say no But what if I'd said nothing?
