I surrender

on (The Death of Ruby)
J'marchais dans la rue, Paris était gris.
J'pensais à toi, j'espèrais t'croiser en fait.
J'me souvenais plus exactement de ton visage, si ton nez était droit, si ta bouche était pleine.
Mais j'me souvenais du goût de tes lèvres, j'espèrais te croiser à tous les coins de rues.
Tous les garçons de dos avaient ton allure, mais quand ils se retournaient ce n'était pas toi, personne n'était toi enfaite.
On me disait que c'était un amour d'enfant, qu'il fallait oublier.
On me disait que c'était bête, ou irrationnel, complètement infondé.
Mais moi je m'en foutais.
Je savais que là où tu étais tu pensais la même chose.
J'marchais dans la rue, Paris restait gris.
Les murs étaient les mêmes, les champs étaient les mêmes.
Tout était pareil sauf toi.
Tout était pareil mais toi t'étais pas là.
Je savais que là où tu étais tu pensais la même chose.
J'marchais dans la rue, Paris restait gris.
Les murs étaient les mêmes, les champs étaient les mêmes.
Tout était pareil sauf toi.
Tout était pareil mais toi t'étais pas là.
Je savais que là où tu étais tu pensais la même chose.
J'marchais dans la rue, Paris restait gris.
Les murs étaient les mêmes, les champs étaient les mêmes.
Tout était pareil sauf toi...
