Sometimes I wish Testo

maybe it's alright things are changing all around me
even the night time doesn't seem to last as long
and the simplest things they're all sent here to confound me
I open my eyes and another day has gone

even my friends they're all starting to lose their patience
because they can't pretend they haven't noticed something?s wrong
and I don't wish to seem ungrateful or ungracious
when you say that life?s too short while I'm thinking it's too long
it's too long
sometimes I wish that my heart
would stop beating for a while
close my eyes make me smile
it's only a ticking in the darkness
that keeps me from my dream
to do what I do
and be who I've been

maybe its alright that so many have been forgotten
even the light is only searching for somewhere that it can rest
and each new thing that?s born will of course one day be rotten
it's got nothing to do with who is cursed or who is blessed

even my friends they're all starting to lose their patience
because they can't pretend they haven't noticed something?s wrong
and I don't wish to seem ungrateful or ungracious
when you say that life?s too short while I'm thinking it's too long
it's too long
sometimes I wish that my heart
would stop beating for a while
close my eyes make me smile
it's only a ticking in the darkness
that keeps me from my dream
to do what I do
and be who I've been

and there's a light shining far away
and it gets a little brighter day by day
by day

sometimes I wish that my heart
would stop beating for a while
close my eyes make me smile
it's only a ticking in the darkness
that keeps me from my dream
to do what I do
and be who I've been

I said to do what I do
and be who I've been
