Rendez-vous
Stephanie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je change de drapeau et de ciel, à trop tirer sur la ficelle
Y'a des retours de manivelle, fais attention, bien attention.
J'voulais te raconter la mer et t'emmener dans mon repaire
Mais y'a maldonne, tout à refaire, cartes biseautées et dés pipés
Larmes salées, déjà donné.
Avec vous, avec eux, avec toi surtout.
Oh oh oh, rendez-vous, rendez-moi tous mes rendez-vous.
Y'a des loups qui ont mis mon cœur à genoux
Qui ont mis partout des verrous, dessus, dessous.
Je reprends tout d'un seul coup, plus jamais je joue.
Je change d'horizon et d'étoiles, je pars loin de ton rire malade.
Sur le cœur, un gilet pare-balles, fais attention, bien attention.
J'te laisse à tes châteaux de sable, je r'prends mes ballons dirigeables
Fallait pas jouer dessous la table, cartes biseautées et dés pipés
Câlins sucrés, je vais chercher.
Oh oh oh, rendez-vous, rendez-moi tous mes rendez-vous.
Vos atouts, aujourd'hui, ne valent plus un sou.
Oh oh oh, rendez-vous, rendez-moi tous mes rendez-vous.
J'ai beaucoup de soleils à vivre sans vous
D'étés à passer loin de vous, dessus, dessous.
Je reprends tout d'un seul coup, plus jamais je joue.
(Saxophone solo)
Rendez-vous, rendez-moi tous mes rendez-vous.
Oh oh oh, rendez-vous, rendez-moi tous mes rendez-vous.
J'ai beaucoup de soleils à vivre sans vous.
Oh oh oh, rendez-vous, rendez-moi tous mes rendez-vous.
Vos atouts, aujourd'hui, ne valent plus un sou.
