Lyrics
Las varillas de nuestro futuro se oxidan con el salitre.
Me acuerdo de tu risa en el Malecón, qué maldito chiste.
En el mapa de tus lunares yo tracé mi norte.
Ahora soy un turista en mi propio bloque, sin pasaporte.
[Chorus]
Nuestro amor, un edificio a medio hacer.
Concreto y promesas que se llevó el ayer.
Quedan las columnas, esperando pa' llover.
[Verse 2]

La luz del colmado parpadea como tu última llamada.
Era un 'te quiero' a media asta, una esperanza sentenciada.
[Bridge]
Yo puse el block, tú el cemento, una obra de los dos.
¿En qué momento nos ganó el viento y se nos fue la voz?
[Outro]
Solo quedan los planos… y esta lluvia en los planos.
