Summary: she asks me to move-in with her

Come take my hand around the Eiffel tower
Come let’s go get drunk along the docks
Back to the basics, let’s follow our hearts
Teach me your language so I may read your thoughts.

But don’t tell me all, I want to discover
Lie to me a little so that I may hope
Let’s pick up from where we left off
All we need to say is that it will not last

If we played again to please each other
If we learned to finally end this story
Welcome to Lyon, build your throne
Find a way to make it home

Come for the summer let me blow your mind
Come we’ll do everything nasty
No matter the hour it’s a good time
Even if we’re scared we’ll follow our hearts

Come hit the road, wake-up at my place
Stay a while perhaps under my roof
Let’s laugh hard, in my bathtub and in your arms
Promise that come fall you’ll get a visa

If we played again to please each other
If we learned to finally end this story
Welcome to Lyon, build your throne
Find a way to make it home

Bridge (whistling melody)

Welcome to Lyon, build your throne
Find a way to make it home
Welcome to Lyon, build your throne
Find a way to make it home

Summary: she disappears

Minou, I’m sorry
I need to go back
I cannot, cannot delay
You will be missed
I’m so sorry

Another night
Another girl
Who bores me
It’s a bad start
With a rusted heart
I am blocked

Minou, my treasure
I managed to renew my passport
I’m coming to find you
You’re in hiding
You’ve forgotten me
I’m so confused

Minou you are
The only one who makes me dream
I’ve just arrived
Minou, minou
You’re going to miss me
I know it

Summary: sends me a breakup letter

I’ve crossed the earth
To find you once again
This summer you said
That I was perfect
You encouraged me to
Apply for a visa
But in the end you decided
To leave me

Goodbye chaton (my nickname)
see you next time my love
We shall see chaton if you succeed
my love

You promised we could
Find our rhythm
You said that we were
A team
But come fall you had
Changed your mind
Said it’s not you nor me
But it didn’t work

Chorus

You don’t want this life
Nor to hurt me
You say that I’m busy
With other priorities
That you lost yourself
And can no longer
I hope that your thoughts
Will change again

Each time we met
I thought it went well
Perhaps our time
Hasn’t come yet
It’s so damn hard
I feel I could die
I truly thought this
Was a fairytale

Chorus

Summary: nothing but mistakes

I shouldn’t have said I missed you everyday to put you at ease
You thought that I was too obsessed and I suffocated you for it
I shouldn’t have worked from your place but got an office to hide myself
I shouldn’t have spent my last days focused on business, I should have stuck to you like glue

Mistakes on both sides, too many mistakes
So many mistakes, one mistake, more mistakes
We should not

You should not have been scared to speak to me, you should have expressed yourself
You should not have judged me before I settled-in
You thought that our life would be like that but that’s not the case
One step at a time we’d have made it work had we only discussed things

Chorus

I’ll let you do as you wish, as if you no longer love me, but I know that’s not the case, it’s just another mistake

Chorus

Summary: can't let go

When I arrive I’ll run after her
Run after a girl
Who used to be mine

Our story isn’t over
We are holding on
To infinite love

I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget

Our trip to paris
The red rose petals
Our adventure in Amsterdam
The boat to get to our boat
The trippy mushrooms
The long nights watching netflix
The days I took care of her
The cucumbers on our eyelids
The contract from hell that nearly killed her

Chorus

The way I made her smile
And cooked her favourite
Meal when she came home
The sunrise when we woke up
The coffee we shared every morning
And the baths with cuddles
The pins and needles felt everywhere
Our playlist of songs as well
We were crazy in love

Chorus

Summary: waiting for you

I present a poem, a bouquet of nostalgia
A trip to the moon written with my pen
A song written for you to serenade you once again
With the softness of my voice, don’t ask me why

I will wait my love
Don’t take too long my love
Will you call me this summer?
I will wait my love
You blew my mind
Sunshine of my life
So I will wait, I will wait

I re-read our history of magnifisant text messages
A canvas of memories of pure pleasure
Two hearts with no detours, that lead only love
That beat like a drum
And sing like troubadours

Chorus

From both sides of the ocean I think of you always
But like a kite gone with the wind your mind escapes me but I wait with patience
Hoping that you’ll return like the birds in the spring

Chorus

I had eyes for only you, I will never find better
But if it’s what you want, I’ll sing my goodbyes

Chorus

Summary: y’all think I’m crazy

Y’all say I’m nuts
That it’s not worth the risk
To leave my home country
That I should stay where it’s safe
Cause many immigrants
Never really succeed
At becoming residents
That I’m going to break my teeth
We’ll you’re not my parents
So eat my dust

Yes I can if I want to
I’m stronger than all of you

You say that I cannot
Survive alone out there
Forget that young girl
You deserve better than that
But I still have my will power
And you’re all assholes
One day I’ll say voila
And you’ll come back to me
So stop worrying
Soon you’ll see

Chorus

The journey begins
From one land to another
Storms and mirages
Choose your friends wisely

Trouble at every turn
Free yourself from the cage
Have courage stay calm
The time has come to turn the page

Chorus

Turn the page (repeat 8 times)

Summary: screw love, I’m doing me

I’ve lost the north star behind all these clouds
I feel so alone on this quest
I'm shit out of luck
I'll never give up
I'm digging for gold on my own

Just like a pirate

I’ve buried my heart
To never feel sad
I’m happy to be
Lost at sea
I travel the world
The story unfolds
An epic journey

Just like a pirate

And come every spring
I cross the ocean
Cause I have no home
And no kids
I’m not interested in love
I’m gonna do me
Cause I’ll always be

Just like a pirate
