All Right
Marie-Pierre Arthur Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Usé jusqu’à la corde
J’ai eu beau tourner la question dans tous les sens
Quand les paroles débordent
Affronter l’évidence
Plus je reste, plus j’ai envie du reste
Avant qu’il soit trop tard
Je laisse derrière ce que vous connaissez déjà
C’que vous n’avez pas su voir

Je le garde pour moi
Pour briller dans d’autres regards
Maintenant je pars
Tout près d’ici mais loin de vous
All right
Vivre avec les souvenirs
Et l’envie disparue de chercher qui a eu tort
Laisser les images pâlir
Repenser le décor
Enfin m’appartenir
Maintenant je pars

Tout près d’ici mais loin de vous
All right
