C'è with multiple conjoined nouns?

Question

I came across this piece of lyrics from a song called "Laura non c'è", and could not decipher it:> Non vorrei che tu fossi un'emergenza > Ma tra bene ed amore c'è > Solo Laura e la mia coscienzaThe lyrics may be inaccurate, but I am not sure what `c'è` in the second line is doing. Could it be correct? If so, what is it referring to?

Answer 1

After looking at the context of the song, it seems that there are three people/subjects involved in this song: "io"/the narrator, Laura, and "tu"/new love. It's a song about moving on. Physically, Laura isn't there (Laura non c'è"). This is juxtaposed with the fact that despite the singer's relationship with a new love, Laura is still there. Roughly, "I wouldn't want for your becoming an emergency, but between good and love, she is there. Does that make sense?

This is an example of knowing which subject the verb (è) is referring to without needing it be repeated. Hope that's useful.
