if you go away today on an airplane to italy
i will have to find someone who will comfort and pity me
pity me

if you leave today the breeze will take you farther than i please
and i will have to lock my house so you can't get back in
i'll change my keys

if you go today i know you won't be back from italy
i will have to find myself a place that's just for me
a new city

if you fly away then i won't follow you to italy
even if it takes a million years for you to visit me
visit me
