lyrics

It's been two years since
A stranger lives with me
And yes, we argue some days over stupid things
He doesn’t have any friends, apart from me

I see the man in the mirror,
He wears a cap and a swimsuit,
The beach we go to reminds me of my youth

The doctor is worried cause visions are so clear.
Who’s dreaming? Who’s wide awake?
The truth is that I am sorry, you're missing out so much,
we are soaking up the sun all day

I see the man in the mirror,
He wears a cap and a swimsuit
The beach we go to reminds me of my youth

(Alda Merini, Italian poet, speaking in the background)
I see the man in the mirror,
He wears a cap and a swimsuit,
The beach we go to reminds me of my youth

I know the man in the mirror,
He holds a bottle of liquor,
He's growing flowers that smell like my perfume

He's charming, he's needy we get along so well
He's funny, he's needy we get along so well
