David Charvet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai ouvert la porte
J'ai touché ton foulard
J'ai joué quelques notes
Sur le piano blanc
au milieu du salon
J'avais pas la musique
t'as écrit la chanson
Avec que une letre n'était pas pour moi
je me suis dit peut-être
je la lirai ou pas
je l'ai lue, j'aurai pas dû je crois
faudrait jamais rentrer chez toi, sans toi
Should I leave, should I stay?
Should I come back another day?
what you want is not the same
We're just two different kids at play
We're just two different kids at play
J'aurai voulu te dire
Mais il est un peu tard
Que c'est dans tes sourires
Que j'oubliai le noir
Des flashé dans mes yeux
et des scènes dorées
Mais c'était pour nous deux
que moi, j'avais tout fait
Should I leave, should I stay?
Should I come back another day?
what you want is not the same
We're just two different kids at play
We're just two different kids at play
These lyrics from David Charvet's song "Should I Leave" showcase the feelings of confusion and uncertainty that come with a fading relationship. The beginning of the song describes the physicality of being in the other person's space, playing the piano and touching their scarf. But it becomes clear that the relationship isn't what it used to be, as the singer questions whether he should leave or stay. The lyrics speak to the idea of wanting to hold onto something that isn't there anymore, and the difficulty of moving on.
The chorus evokes a sense of sadness and longing as the singer grapples with the decision of whether to leave or stay. The lyrics "should I come back another day?" suggest a lack of commitment and uncertainty about the future of the relationship. The line "we're just two different kids at play" acknowledges that the two people involved may just be fundamentally different and trying to make something work that simply can't.
The song's bridge expresses regret and a desire to have done things differently, but ultimately it is too late. The final lines hint at the idea that the relationship was a facade, with "scenes of gold" only for show, and that the singer had been trying his best to make it work, but it wasn't enough.
Overall, "Should I Leave" is a poignant song that captures the complicated emotions of love lost, uncertainty, and regret.
