This one came from connecting the dots between something Ted from himym said about his firm and the reflections I made after being to afraid to ask a girl’s name at a gathering.

Lyrics:

“The longer I put off starting my own firm
the longer it can remain a dream
And not something I screw up at
It’s like I’m giving up before I even started”

I saw you across the room
Talking to people about the weather
You probably didn’t notice when our eyes met
In that brief second I could see eternity
Everything that could be
It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
How could I ever risk ruining it?

So before I even started 
I gave up without trying
And I saw you walk away
The girl with no name

Holding on to the dream 
Of the future that could be
Sometimes seems so much better
Than to face the disaster 
The potential rejection
The proof of what you already know
That there’s still a long way to go

So before I even started 
I might give up without trying
To live up to the dream
Of being enough to be with you

“When will I know I’m ready?
You won’t
It’s a leap of faith
that’s all it is Miles
A leap of faith”

So there I was, to afraid to screw up again
How could I ever think I was ready?
They’d say faith, oh yeah, it’s faith
How can I know? You won’t.
The story of how I became the man I had to became
Before I could be yours truly

So Before I even start
I won’t give up without trying
I’ll swallow the lumps down my throat
To hell with the dream
I want my future to be real
You can call me leo
What should I call you?
…
“Not bad kid.”

The Journey

Sunflower fields
The sun is hiding behind the clouds
Welcoming the winds of change
Sometimes, the only purpose you need
Is to enjoy the ride.

Look! It’s the sunset!
Sometimes it seems like the sun will be long gone
And when you’re least expecting it
It will appear in the horizon
Exploding in yellow light

Can’t you see how the sunflowers are happy?
Just how sweet are these train rides?
All the babies are smiling.
Thank you for being who you are.

Sometimes, the only purpose you need
Is to enjoy the ride.

I’ve written this song while living in Budapest, whilst being from Brasil, trying to encapsulate that feeling that constantly was haunting me of “how I wish I had someone with whom to share these experiences with”.
It’s an ode to the loneliness we all feel when first venturing the unknown jungle of our new adventures, and also just regular good old solitude. 

Lyrics:

Oceans away 
the ones I most love
I crave to feel the connection           
With anyone where my heart could belong
In how it feels back home with you

I see in the sky
On the nights the moon smiles at me
I know she’s smiling upon you too

I laugh at my own jokes
They are always funny inside my head
How I wish someone would be there
That would want to hear and laugh
The same way i know that you would

And When it’s time to face the unknown
As you should
You shall Know
Yourself might be all that you have 
So be prepared
To laugh at your own joke’s
There may be no one else to tell them but you

And specially in those nights
You might look at the sky and see
A pretty smile laughing just for you

on loneliness (moon’s smile 🌙)

I hope you’ll understand me
It hasn’t been so easy
To love and to be loved
Sometimes my mind can be deceiving
Is this really love?
But really how can this be love? 
I’m sure I had both feet on earth.
Somehow I’m lost in outer space
 
My miiiiind is looong gone
My heart is beating
(So fast)
It’s beating really fast
(No Way)
What the fuck is that
(To Say)
I think love is in play 

Because Loooooove is a Rocket Engine
Propelling ourselves in the most unthinkable ways
And Looooove is a  Rocket Launch
Escaping from Earth
Searching for you in outer space

I think I see it now
Listening to my heart
It was a temporary high
Dreaming of being an astronaut
Loving the future that could be
Though it was only on my mind
Reality sometimes can be deceiving 

My heeart is long goone
My mind is overthinking
(Don’t wait)
It’s time to float away
(What way)
Only your heart can say
(No way)
It’s time to medidate

Because Loooooove is a Rocket Engine
Propelling ourselves in the most unthinkable ways
And Looooove is a  Rocket Launch
Escaping from Earth
Flying with you to outer space

And I took that rocket launch
It faaaded away like it was never meant to fly
And yooou took that rocket engine
You flew away from me 
Our routes went on their separate ways

And now
My mind
Is okay
It’s time
To heal
Today
To be
In here
And stay.
-
After leaving orbit, a rocket needs no extra fuel
once the first launch is succesful
love can go on until eternity
if there is not enough fuel to leave earth
you’re bound to fall down all over again

Before I Even Started

“The longer I put off starting my own firm
the longer it can remain a dream
And not something I screw up at

I saw you across the room
Talking to people about whatever
You probably didn’t notice when our eyes met
In that brief second I could see eternity
Everything that could be
It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
How could I ever risk ruining it?

So before I even started 
I gave up without trying
And I saw you walk away
The girl with no name

Holding on to the dream 
Of the future that could be
Sometimes seems so much better

So Before I even start
(I won’t give up without trying
I’ll swallow the lumps down my throat
To hell with the dream
I want my future to be real
You can call leo
What should I call you?)

“Que bom viver, como é bom sonhar
E o que ficou pra trás passou e eu não me importei
Foi até melhor, tive que pensar em algo novo que fizesse sentido
Ainda vejo o mundo com os olhos de criança
Que só quer brincar e não tanta responsa
Mas a vida cobra sério e realmente não dá pra fugir
Livre pra poder sorrir, sim
Livre pra poder buscar o meu lugar ao sol
Livre pra poder sorrir, sim
Livre pra poder buscar o meu lugar ao sol
Um dia eu espero te reencontrar numa bem melhor
Cada um tem seu caminho, eu sei foi até melhor
Irmãos do mesmo Cristo, eu quero e não desisto
Caro pai, como é bom ter por que se orgulhar
A vida pode passar, não estou sozinho
Eu sei se eu tiver fé eu volto até a sonhar
Livre pra poder sorrir, sim
Livre pra poder buscar o meu lugar ao sol
Livre pra poder sorrir, sim
Livre pra poder buscar o meu lugar ao sol
O amor é assim, é a paz de Deus em sua casa
O amor é assim, é a paz de Deus que nunca acaba
O amor é assim, é a paz de Deus em sua casa
O amor é assim, é a paz de Deus que nunca acaba”

You were at the door you walked out on me
You asked me to stay but i had to go
It was the only way i’d find my way.

“Nossas vidas, nossos sonhos têm o mesmo valor
Nossas vidas, nossos sonhos têm o mesmo valor
Eu vou com você pra onde você for
Eu descobri que é azul a cor da parede da casa de Deus
E não há mais ninguém como você e eu”
