Every word you say could start a war, And I’d still follow you through every door. Pre-Chorus Heartbeat skips in three-four time, Guess I’ve fallen out of line— Chorus Ciao bello, my pulse forgot to start, You walk in and short-circuit my heart. Like something out of my best dream, Static hums and the world turns steam. Ciao bello… what have you done to me? Verse 2 You speak in sparks, you move in light, Like the city dreamed you into night. I tell myself I’ll play it cool, But you’re the only rule I can’t undo. Pre-Chorus Every look rewires my plan, Guess I’m only human to your hands— Chorus Ciao bello, my pulse forgot to start, You walk in and short-circuit my heart. Like something out of my best dream, Static hums and the world turns steam. Ciao bello… what have you done to me? Bridge (whispered over vinyl crackle) If love’s a spell, I’m under it twice, One for your smile, one for your vice. Final Chorus (soft, reverent) Ciao bello, my heart won’t restart, You’re every sin I’d still call art. Like something out of my best dream… You’re the only real thing.
