One of my all time favorite songs..

This song is very special to me. I remember listening to it in the airplane the moment I arrived in Guarulhos airport in São Paulo on December of 2002, after many years away from my loved country, my loved friends.. I was extatic and hopeful. The moment i stepped out of the airplane, I felt the warm air taking over my lungs. The smell of cement mixed with the humid smell carried by our dark green forrests, is what home smells to me. I was born again. Recountering all that I ever knew, all that I ever cared for, all that ever mattered to me, made the arduous waiting worth...
I believe that was the happiest moment of my life so far, and I'm sure the only person who can understand that exact feeling is my sister =)

..I feel sorry for the guy who sat next to me (but its ok, because he bugged me all through the trip as well), he thought i was nuts, because halfway the trip i repeated over and over "I can't believe Im going back to Brazil..i can't believe, i can't handle it. I have to jump, Im nervous, my hands are sweaty...but I am happy, because I have waited for this moment..for almost an eternity." Eternity is surely what it feels like, when you leave your country and your friends behind...



Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
