"¿Alguna vez he sabido cómo salvar una vida?"

Era la pregunta que no podía parar de hacerme en Galerías. A pesar de saber que ya era la hora. A pesar de estar ahí de pie, inmovil a lo lejos, sin saber qué esperar, sin dar el primer paso. Observando su lectura de un libro que ya olvidé. Y los contrastes, lo innegables contrastes. Uno de blanco, uno de negro.

Escuchaba esta canción que tuvo que estar ahí. Porque era su momento (No creo en el destino, sólo en la causalidad: Acto - Consecuencia). Y The Fray me contaba el preludio de este nuevo y feliz final:

Las reglas se hicieron para romperse.




Step one you say "We need to talk".
He walks you say "Sit down it's just a talk".
He smiles politely back at you
you stare politely right on through
some sort of window to your right.
As he goes left and you stay right
between the lines of fear and blame
and you begin to wonder why you came...

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night.
Had I known how to save a life?

Let him know that you know best,
´cause after all you do know best.
Try to slip past his defense
without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what is wrong,
the things you've told him all along.
And pray to God he hears you...
And pray to God he hears you...

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night.
Had I known how to save a life?

As he begins to raise his voice
you lower yours and grant him one last choice:
Drive until you lose the road
or break with the ones you've followed.
He will do one of two things:
He will admit to everything
or he'll say he's just not the same
and you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night.
Had I known how to save a life?

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night.
Had I known how to save a life?

How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night.
Had I known how to save a life?

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night.
Had I known how to save a life?
