Seven years old Life is just perfect 6th-floor apartment in a good part of Lisbon, it's certain I'm lucky, have two parents that love me, and my curtains Full of sunray when I wake up, I don't need to be searching For love or waiting for it like I'm Avicii, I got it I wanted to be a surfer but now I think that's not it Or a fireman, or policeman, I have no plans of dying young I wanna play football, trying to convince Mom to sign me up And I'm playing 'round in the hallways with Dad, if I score - two cheers While Mom holds my newborn brother I've been asking for two years I ask Mom to play with us, Dad tells me she's resting She does seem a bit tired, as she holds bro so rest, please She goes put him in his crib and gives a kiss Maybe now she can play But the game stops as Dad leaves and goes away to grab a shopping list He asks if I wanna go, of course I wanna go And I ask Mom if she wants to join But she has to stay to take care of bro, she's in pajamas Me and Dad in the elevator then we walk to the car, sun shining It's mid-July, we get in the car to the mall and as we get there I'm eyeing A PSP that I really want so I can play FIFA and Star Wars-- wait Spider-Man, Midnight Club, Assassin's Creed, and far more games Dad says "In a few years, maybe" if I'm good, I see an action figure It's Spider-Man, can I have that? It's not 100 bucks, so I can have a Peter We're walking around the mall and suddenly it's like I have a feeling That I can't explain, I think of my new toy, like a spider-sense So I look around to see if I'm in danger, don't forget I'm seven and inside, I'm tense Somewhere between the mouth, heart, lungs, my pee-pee, and the stomach, it's Kinda weird, so I turn to Dad, I go tell him this Before I can though, he gets a call Man, I wonder who the hell it is He says we gotta go home a little early, I comply and Next thing I know we're in the car, the whole trip, just silence I usually strike up some random talks but I'm quiet too And I'm always so energetic but something tells me not to fight the mood Cuz it's like the whole air is dense and I'm on the fence To ask or not just what it is Something isn't right, but I wanna enjoy this moment Where everything is still okay, even if it's not, in my head, it is Don't ask me how I know this, I know it makes no sense No kid has these thoughts on his tiny little dome, it's Not ordinary, oh cool, we're pulling up on our home, yes! I can leave my head, when I leave the car, this feeling will be over It had to be all in my head, we arrive and we pull over To the back of our own building, Dad gets out, so I get the door And we walk together, wait a minute, there's a body lying on the floor Right in front of our backdoor and our front neighbor right next to it Waiting for us, hard pic' to answer in a kid's head, as I'm getting near I start recognizing clothes, it's a pajama, like Mom's pink one, that's weird But she wasn't wearing-- ...Okay, she was wearing it And her Dalmatian slippers, no one else has that, no, go back That's not what I wanna think, no, that's not mom, no, it can't be We just saw her, no, I can't see But I look at her, it's a woman there and it's the same hair, I'm so afraid Not scared, but afraid I ask our neighbor if that's my Mom, she says "no" I don't get any comfort as I hear that I wanna believe her, I do and don't Dad takes me to our neighbors on the third floor And then he goes back down I wanna peak through the window but I don't want it to be real Plus the neighbors wouldn't let me if I tried, they put on Zakumi for me It's a show about the mascot from the World Cup I love it but can't focus They give me cereal, bowl's done Time is slow but so much of it has passed, I don't even know what time it is Heard the sirens a bit ago and I nearly cried but remembered That even if it isn't Mom they have to come I been overthinking, I don't even know what overthinking is I don't even know if my Mom is dead or if she's alive If she is, why, then are they taking so long, I can't think of it Am I in denial, is it hope instead? Heard the neighbors talking 'bout a child alone in bed, crying Every time I hear the elevator, wonder if it's Dad coming up again Wait, I think this time it's him Elevator on the floor, it's him Doorbell and the neighbors leave the kitchen they were in I hear them talking as they let him in He walks over to me, on the couch He kneels and looks at me, I don't see a grin... I don't see a grin Please, don't let it be this grim Please, don't say what I've been tryna dim I think all of this but push it in I try to clear the mind and focus on him "Son, I have to tell you something", swear I've never seen my father cry But he did as he told me "I'm sorry Pedro, your mother died"
