Suis moi, ou tu me vois pas? écoute les sons, ces sont des mots d’espoir et regarde moi, je serai ici toujours... Marche lent, pas decidé ouvre les yeux, va vers la lumière et je serai là, ne regarde pas en arrière Suis moi, ouvre les yeux saute les murs, va vers le futur, parce que je serai là, ne regarde pas en arrière. Oh please run away and shout…

you just have to dance, it’s better than a silly romance you just have to dance, until you understand that if you want some more information i’d tell you “just relax and let it go” you just have to dance, we’re having so much fun Nobody knows we’re breaking up, we’re having so much fun and if you want some more information i’d tell you just relax and let it go I wanna make you happy If you could only pay me some attention And leave your own reflection… you just have to dance, invite your dead-eye bitch we can dance the three of us, we're having so much fun and if you want some more information i’d tell you just relax and let it go I wanna make you happy If you could only pay me some attention And leave your own reflection… you just have to dance , we’re having so much fun Nobody knows we’re breaking up, we’re having so much fun and if you want some information i’d tell you just relax and let it go I wanna make you happy If you could only pay me some attention And leave your own reflection… every day and every night i’ll dream about the time you’re going I hope you’ll have the nerve to act your age every day and every night (don't ask me why) i’ll dream about the time you’re going (don't ask me why) I hope you’ll have the nerve to act your age you just have to dance, it’s better than a silly romance you just have to dance, until you understand and if you want some more information i’d tell you “just relax and let it go” I wanna make you happy If you could only pay me some attention And leave your own reflection… some attention, and leave your own reflection… some attention, and leave your own reflection… You just have to dance

Si je regarde ton visage quand tu dors T’es comment un petit enfant qui rêve un peu Je vois les caresses de maman, les jouets par terre Les sauts sur le fauteuil Reste ici tranquillement profite les bons moments Ne t’inquiète pas ici t’es sûr Si je touche ton visage je vois les rêves Le basket, la guitare, le bon élève Les amis, pain au chocolat Argent de poche et sang aux genoux Reste ici tranquillement profite les bons moments Ne t’inquiète pas ici t’es sûr Si j’observe tes mouvements je suis le film Tes rêves sont l’histoire de notre vie Je suis les premières bises, tes premières filles La première cigarette devant le miroir Reste ici tranquillement profite les bons moments Ne t’inquiète pas ici t’es sûr

Poptimist 02:49
Stand up, music is changing I guess you've noticed as it has changed many times before something has come to stay just like a message; music makes me feel so poptimist and takes you higher... hey now, they’ll weight you down but don’t be afraid music makes you feel so poptimist and takes you higher... (feel the music changing, I'm so poptimist)

Patience come up to me the fire is burning the words and lines turning to grey are melting away read the endless time reflected in mirrors of air and take me away Stand up and go, Mr Baudelaire Stand up and go from the grief you design your hideous beauty is turning to a dead sound's body see the blue summer sky feel the fall’s petrified don’t pray from the wine cellar of your madness don’t cry, don’t try to be good ‘cause writing is a kind of crime, a kind of murder Stand up and go, Mr Baudelaire Stand up and go from the grief you design your hideous beauty is turning to a dead sound's body don’t save your soul

Frapuccino lovers on the waiting hall their time is stopping on the sweet side Nothing is so heavy when you let it fall or when it's floating on the love tide All I want Could be written on my palm All she wants Bubbles and bubbles I’m trying to catch Silence can be golden if your heart is full Who needs a part time conversation? All I want, could be written on my palm All he wants, bubbles and bubbles I’m trying to catch The price of caramel is on the rise, again When they wake you up, let them in You’re splitting shadows with a plastic knife, again When they wake you up, let them in Someone took the empty seat in front of me I couldn’t say that it was taken a-ah, a-ah She starts talking I look at my feet Another chance that I’ll be wasting a-ah, a-ah All I want, could be written on my palm All he wants, bubbles and bubbles I’m trying to catch The price of caramel is on the rise, again When they wake you up, let them in You’re splitting shadows with a plastic knife, again When they wake you up, let them in The price of caramel is on the rise, again When they wake you up, let them in You’re splitting shadows with a plastic knife, again When they wake you up, let them in

This is the right time This is the right time, yeah This is the right time This is the right time, yeah Let’s have a good day, Let’s have a good day, yeah Like Sunday drivers on Monday morning Our lives are slowing down and getting nowhere. Hello once again, you are smiling I dream of the time I come back To sing up your window This is the right time This is the right time, yeah I know you’re going You’re going to that fair Like Sunday drivers on Monday morning Our lives are upside down and getting nowhere. Hello once again, you are smiling I dream of the time I come back To sing up your window This is the right time Like Sunday drivers on Monday morning Our lives are upside down and getting nowhere. Hello once again, you are smiling I dream of the time I come back To sing up your window This is the right time

Brouillon #1 03:36
Assieds devant ton jardin J’attends te voir la dernière fois Tu sors si beau, cheveux mouillés, sonne le portable, tes yeux lumière. Tes amants racontent comme tu étais ta peau si douce et ta lumière Mais elles disent que tu étais si triste là sans amour Tu cherches la femme idéale J’attends ici... l’opportunité Il y a trois ans que je cherche ton coeur Je pense à toi à la belle étoile le mythe des hommes que je n’aurai pas. Un jour et l’autre je te vois Mais un jour passe et tu ne sors pas Je vois les gens et la police ta voisine crie ‘ c’est un suicide’. Je pleure, je crie, je ne peux pas le croire! Le monde marche vers le cimetière Quinze roses rouges de tes amants et je laisse la seize mais elle est blanche. Je pleure, je crie, je ne peux pas croire ! Je vois les roses ensemble, les roses des amants, toutes les nuits accompagné mais toujours seul. Je vais tous les jours pour te parler, j’ai acheté le terrain d’à côté et quand je marche les pieds devant… je serai enterré avec toi pour que tu sois pas seul et t’accompagner…

Who are They 04:27
It’s Saturday night, I’m working tonight I wish I could take you out tonight It’s always the same, but who is to blame It’s lucky for me you feel the flame Don’t say I will, be there very soon And it’s alright, as long as we can take a walk on Sunday afternoon But I, I wish I were by your side And you, you wouldn’t have to wait But someday we’ll be like them But who are they? It’s 4 a.m. it's hard to explain I feel like crap that’s just what I am Couples walk by, and I’m standing by And I can see they are waving goodbye They go to dance, what a romance I’m making up that we can join them As we are always hand in hand But I, I wish I were by your side And you, you wouldn’t have to wait But someday we’ll be like them But who are they? And so the story carries on You're tired and I am so blind When did you change your mind? Another love is in your life And now she takes you to paradise She’s just the girl you love And so the story carried on I’m going my way, there’s nothing to say I wish I could go back in time and stay to have another chance with you But I, I wish I were by your side And you, you wouldn’t have to wait But someday we’ll be like them But who are they?

I could have texted a message, but there’s no signal over here I’ve got plenty of time now, I'm looking for you everywhere, it feels so good... You're sentenced to an endless happiness The day I left I didn’t have the chance To say goodbye to you and let you go in peace The pounding of the ocean reminds me of fireworks at night The children don’t stop laughing, their shades are jumping on the sand, I feel so good You're sentenced to an endless happiness The day I left I didn’t have the chance To say goodbye to you and let you go in peace And I try just to reach you, and you smile I guess you do, I guess you do I’m your breath I’m on your side I’m the song that cries just for you, I beat for you... You're sentenced to an endless happiness The day I left I didn’t have the chance To say goodbye to you and let you go in peace And despite the happiness I'm missing you
