In the São Paulo metro, the city is alive
Saw you from afar, a glimpse passing by
And when I turned, oh, my dear lord
The one with mandalas, mesmerising my soul

Halfway there, halfway there (you caught my eye)

One lace undone, on knees, heart on fire
Your glance was the spark, we were close to the wire
I caught your words, though lost in the air
We stepped off slow, no longer strangers there

Halfway there, halfway there (we said hello)

A spark through the noise, we slipped into flow
We drifted through hours, the words knew where to go
We shared our tattoos, like secrets in the ink
A time and a place, then the pause on the brink

Halfway there, halfway there (your word felt like home)

Your replies slowed down, like dusk in the air
A tightness grew, the magic, barely there
I asked myself softly: What did you see?
Still unsure if your gaze found the real me

Does this bond I'm weaving truly hold?

Forgive me, but before you
Another bond was there
So it's better to say no

Yeah, it's better to say no
Yeah, now it's better to say no

But what if I'd said nothing?
