  • Who's the boy I like the most
    Is it is teasing you he's underage?
    Could he be waving from a tropical sunset
    Static silhouette somehow
    Single in his bed someday
    Quiet 'til he fall, fall, falls

    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Focus looking forward the coliseum
    Oh no, what did I say?
    What can I say?
    Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
    I'll be driving you look the other way

    I am easy to ignore
    Shutters open all the way
    When the scandal that I see I'll go insane
    Distant silhouettes somehow
    We shared a cigarette somewhere
    I looked to the fall, fall, falls

    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Focus looking forward the coliseum
    Oh no, what did I say?
    What can I say?
    Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
    I'll be driving you look the other way

    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

    Always and forever more
    I called to say I'm on the way
    Two thousand years remain in the trashcan
    I burned the cigarette somewhere
    Ashes still it fall, fall, falls

    I stand outside under broken leaves
    I know I can't do without
    The future's drowned away

    Ah, I never loved you
    And if I loved you
    I wouldn't say I'm sorry, oh no
    I stand outside under broken leaves

    Always and forever more
    And together getting lonely
    I thought I couldn't do this without you
    Single in his bed somewhere
    Ashes still it fall, fall, falls

    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
    Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome Writer/s: Christian Mazzalai, Frederic Moulin, Laurent Mazzalai, Thomas Croquet
