Highway
Les Respectables Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si on partait tous les deux
Qu'est-ce que t'en dis ?

Foutre le camp
Pour un temps
Changer de vie

On s'fait confiance

V'lа notre chance
On s'en va loin d'ici

Ce s'ra la dйlivrance
De l'enfance
Quand on s'ra parti

Qu'on ait faim
Qu'on ait froid
On s'en fou, on paiera le prix

La route est belle
Sous le ciel
C'est nous qu'elle appelle

Seuls sur le highway
Comme dans un road movie
Seuls sur le highway
On sait pas c'qu'on va trouver

Le jugement des autres
Ou le vфtre
On en veut plus

Les "Quand dira-t-on"
Quand dirais-tu
Faut qu'on les tue
On s'fait confiance
V'lа notre chance
On s'en va loin d'ici

Seuls sur le highway
Comme dans un road movie
Seuls sur le highway
On n'sait pas ce qu'on va trouver
Seuls sur le highway

J'y ai souvent pensй
On en a tellement parlй
Mais c'est ce soir
Qu'on va pouvoir enfin se libйrer

On fera l'amour
N'importe oщ
La nuit et le jour

Et libre comme l'air
On ira
Au bout de la terre

La route est belle
Sous le ciel
C'est nous qu'elle appelle

Seul sur le highway
Comme dans road movie
Seul sur le highway
C'est lа qu'on s'est retrouvй

Seul sur le highway
On va tout recommencer (2)
