lyrics

I'm not missing every minute, but I miss it every day
But I got my heavy medal
So I'm okay

I hang it on the west wall, first thing to catch the sun
Such a beautiful inscription:
Congrats, you're done

Some days I see her falling
Some days I only see the snow,
And I'm hanging like a teardrop
Hold on, babe, I'm coming, don't let go
We're still not really talking
But I make her laugh sometimes
And we got our heavy medals
So we'll do fine

(SOLO)

There's still some unbelievers, including my own head
Saying, why do you keep on walking?
Man: you’ll only end up dead

Well,

A whole day without a river, beneath a burning resupply
But at the end, a brand new sunset
So man, that's why

This city feels so empty
No more agony or bliss
And I don't know what I want now:
I only know that it's not this

I'm not loving every minute
But I'm living every day
And I got my heavy medal
So I'm ok

If you're not loving every minute
But you're smiling half the time
Well then, you've got your heavy medal
And you'll be fine

Take us home!

In Casa, Casa de Luna
We were raising the tune I carry
Like an Olympic flame

In Casa, Casa de Luna
We were erasing the rules and
Shyly painting our brand-new names
