… If there's a lot on your plate

Eat all you can get

Your guilt's pointless

And it's already tomorrow...

Side by side, hand in hand, crossing the street

My feet are getting wet but there’s no way I’m going inside

A face to face, a quiet place, a cup of coffee to go

Isn’t all that we need? Let’s head up to nowhere…

 

And every step forward you look behind

To see if someone’s following you

I know, I know, there’s just no turning back

 

What else could we do with all this time to waste?

I hear them say that it is just a phase

But isn’t life just a phase anyway?

 

… If there's a lot on your plate

Eat all you can get

Your guilt's pointless

And it's already tomorrow...

 

Where have you been? What have you done?

What’s that new fold between your eyebrows?

Tell me, what’s good about being a grown up?

How did you deal with her leaving?

And what was she looking for?

What couldn’t you give that she finally got from him?

 

What you did, would you do it again?

Only time can tell if you we’re right

I know, I know, there’s just no turning back

 

But for now how are we supposed to fill

The time that separates the cut from the healing?

How long can a phase last anyway?

 

November will never end and Christmas is gonna be rough

You might feel like the next new year is a used one

February’s the longest month and beware the ides of March

But I’m not going anywhere until it passes…

November will never end and Christmas is gonna be rough

You might feel like the next new year is a used one

February’s the longest month and beware the ides of March

Please say you’ll be right here until it passes...

… If there's a lot on your plate

Eat all you can get

Your guilt's pointless

And it's already tomorrow...

I loved him, I do not anymore

She watched me give up what she had been dreaming of

The way he wants me, I won’t give it back

If he had the choice would he be at your place tonight?

 

He lied to me, it’s everybody else I can’t believe

He’ll lie to you until you finally leave

Someone else’s in your bed but you feel the same fear

Cuz he’s always guilty anyway

Why should he stay?

 

The way that you hold him don’t you see that he can’t breathe

You might need him, a little too much

Jodie, we give ourselves what we got

And sometimes its just not so much

 

They raised him, the only way they knew

He’s the man now who leaves scars on you

And when you’ve lost it all, how far ‘till you fall?

But tell me where is the line you won’t let him cross?

 

The way they loved him is the way he loves you now

And comprehension might not be enough

Jodie, we give ourselves what we got

Do you think he deserves that much?

 

Most of the time it’s not 'cause we’re blind, we just don’t wanna see

What is going on with our priorities

We can round up 3 million people in front of the TV

But for taking care of ourselves we’re always too busy

 

My neighbor’s house was in flames, I chose to keep my eyes shut

If thats how we love ourselves, guess it’s not so much

Lazy, selfish, not sharing what we got

Pretending all together that anyway it wouldn’t be enough…

 

Cuz we can’t keep answering every call

And in the maze down here,

Right or wrong it ain't so clear

Nothing’s gonna change if nobody tries

So while I’m here, I’d better pick my fight



I loved him, I do not anymore

I saw you rolled your eyes while I was telling you about my day

What Stephanie said and David did

You used to like my tongue to wag for no reason

I guess we all get used to everything

Then you asked me if I still loved you

And I nodded yes like an old reflex

You were about to go back to sleep

But I turned on the lights, brought a chair and took a seat

 

We could use a little talk

It seems like we’re skidding off the tracks

I feel your hand letting go of mine

Is it me or are we kind of drifting away now?

 

Is the gap to wide now? (x3)

 

We both agreed that there was a bad vibe going on

But you know I love the drama

I tend to analyse everything  we do

And when I investigate, I find the proof

We surfed a while on our good intentions

While people seem to grow, they never really change

You think I’ve been weird for days

So I’ll kiss you goodbye, grab my coat maybe

 

I could use a little walk

And tell myself it's great to be back

Instead of dissecting it all

And wondering if the gap between us is too deep now

 

Is the gap to wide now? (x3)

 

So I’ll just stroll around the block

And cool my mind down

Sometimes it’s hard to stand the heat

But I’m rarely at room temperature after all

So no, I don’t wanna cool down

I guess I’m too dumb to play safe

I might keep on loving you for a while

But let me just grab my coat and close the door

And let’s say goodbye as if I was

 

Just heading out for a walk

Pretending I’ll be right back

We dug our trenches and somehow

The gap between us is just way too deep now

 

The gap is just to wide now. (x6)

I just turned off the lights, cuz it’s dark outside

I wanna know what’s going on in your car

Are you crying, doing lines or something else?

Fifteen weeks without news and now you’re back there

In my driveway, so close, but you won’t show

 

The weatherman is off his game, but in April 'round here it’s always the same

I kept your room warm as long as I could

But I must admit I expected you way before

With fifteen dollars of gas

I didn’t think you’d get that far…

 

Why should we change something that works so well

I’m waiting, you take your time, maybe just to test if I’m still here

Disapproving pretty much everything that you do

You break glass, I clean up after you

You’d do the same if I let you, wouldn’t you?

 

I put a couple of beers in the freezer, so if you ever come in

Maybe we could talk things over.

Although I might be as useless, as fifteen years of all those therapists,

What if your heart just doesn’t fit the size of it’s shell

 

Why should we change something that works so well

I’m waiting, you take your time, maybe just to test if I’m still here

Disapproving pretty much everything that you do

You break glass, I clean up after you

You’d do the same if I let you, wouldn’t you?

 

So did you find some peace somewhere between the love you need

And the love that you give?

Did you finaly leave those fifteen roses on the ground?

Is she dead and burried?

Are you relieved?

My nearest and dearest

Once again are begging me to slow down

Cuz I cry when I slip and fall

But if I never knock

Who’s gonna know I’m right here behind the door

Cuz you can’t read my thoughts

And I can’t dance to save my life

 

Beat the words you wanna hear

Your pace in my head

You’re such a shooting star

One blink and I miss

I’m gonna hope, I’m gonna hold on

Until I’m covered with…

Twirl my world upside down

Cuz that’s the way I like it

 

My nearest and dearest

Ennemies might not see me for who I am

Or maybe they’re right

When you never fail

It’s probably cuz you never try anything at all

I hate to hurt my precious pride

And I can’t dance to save my life

Beat the words you wanna hear

Your pace in my head

You’re such a shooting star

One blink and I miss

I’m gonna hope, I’m gonna hold on

Until I’m covered with…

Twirl my world upside down

Cuz that’s the way I like it

But I’m no coward

I’ll dance around the line now

Taste the change when I face the strange

Hands down, it’s such a perfect day

I might be awkward but watch me put my foot down

Breaking the chains to break the chain

It’s such a perfect day!

 

I’ll sing what you wanna hear…

Your pace in my head

You’re such a shooting star

One blink and I miss

I’m gonna hope, I’m gonna hold on

Until I’m covered with…

Twirl my world upside down

Cuz that’s the way I like it

I thought I saw your car but then I always look for it

I wasn’t really expecting you to show up at the liquor store door

 

I saw the village idiot you we’re having a fight with

I couldn’t tell where he was going, running in the middle of the boulevard

Brandishing peace signs in the air

 

I get back in my car, let this chase begin

I’ll count to a thousand

While you switch your hiding place

And when I find where you’re hiding

You’ll be long time gone (x3)

 

I heard you went to the bar where we used to hang out to see this band

We’re you expecting me to show up at the ladies room door?

 

I heard you got a new girlfriend now, I’ve seen her once or twice lately

Well, I must admit she seems much more peaceful than I used to be

Brandishing her white flag in the air

 

But I’ll get back in my car, I’m not done playing,

I’ll count to a thousand

While you switch your hiding place

And when I find where you’re hiding

You’ll be long time gone (x3)

 

I finally found you asleep in the corner

I didn’t see that coming

I know now I run slower and I got much more to hide

But if you’re tired of this game

Well I guess there’s not much I can do

But maybe finally let go 'cause somehow

You’re over me now…

 

So I’ll get back in my car, if we’re done playing,

Best stop this before

We’re so well hidden, we can’t find ourselves no more

So long, I’m gone! (x2)

I'm gone!

Don’t feel threatened

Nobody’s here to break your heart

It’s nothing new

The higher you get, the further you fall

I’m terrified too

 

Cuz we might get hurt

Just like we hurt others too

But life hurts

Does that mean it’s not worth going through?

 

It rarely goes the way we would have chosen it

Sometimes all that we have left is to keep trying

 

It keeps on turning

No matter how hard I keep my eyes closed

Still, sometimes when the news

Shows me more than I can handle

 

I switch the channel

Cuz I can’t let them take away my hopes

But life kills

Despite how unfair it is

 

It rarely goes the way we would have chosen it

Sometimes it shakes so hard you lose your grip

 

It rarely goes the way we would have chosen it

Sometimes all that we have left is to keep trying

 

There’s so much we don’t control

And even more we don’t understand

On top of it all

 

There’s you and me

Our mistakes and all we’ve learned

But life hurts

So when we fail we just have to pick ourselves up



It rarely goes the way we would have chosen it

Sometimes it shakes so hard you lose your grip



It rarely goes the way we would have chosen it

Sometimes all that we have left is to keep trying



All that we have left is to keep trying (X2).

I have grown up to the sound of the ring of bells

Telling me when it’s time to turn to the next page

And I do believe in happy endings, but I learned it the hard way

More than once I crunched the fruit and still felt raw raw raw

 

One more time someone ate all of my soup

Now keep an eye on yours, I’m right behind

If the war is between the size and the will

I’m starving and always up for a little fight

But are you comfortable with defeat?

Cuz someday we all lose…

 

But only to learn from it and avoid our last mistakes

It’s all about self confidence; don’t let them smell the fear

But don’t tell me that it’s over and give me something fierce

Cuz every hero has a heel (that is) raw raw raw

 

A mean wicked wind blew down my ginger bread house

Somehow I might have missed the ring of the bell

And your Cinderella’s in bed with the big bad wolf

Let’s get back on our feet and take a short walk in the woods

I’m kinda comfortable with my own defeats

But when it’s about you….

 

It’s clearly on me, take this helmet and follow my lead

Between the size and the will, I’ll place my bet on us raw raw raw

 

But Snow White died from medication

And good King Arthur, he got stabbed at the bus station

When it gets all weird, it sometimes feels like there’s nothing to hold on

At least there’s lots of crutches to lean on

 

So no I won’t admit defeat

Until I put my dirty fingers through the holes

We all have our beliefs and our reasons to keep hoping

That the best is yet to come, that the best is yet to come…

The best is yet to come (x2)

Jack always thought I was a mess

But Jill actually says I’m smart

Mama encouraged me to think before I talk

So I've grown up to never be driven by

What’s the right thing to do

I read the Bible, Sartre and the Secret too

 

But still I can’t quit

Spying on my neighbours, whipsering prayers

“Let them fail before I do”

Cuz Hell is other people, so are you

Ready to dance on my grave too?

 

I hear only what I wanna hear

And take what I feel like taking

Then build my own moral and right way to live

So most people think that I’m a prize

But everyone is always surprised

When the girl next door has bats in her belfry

 

I -- can’t -- quit

Spying on my neighbours, whispering prayers

“Let them fail before I do”

Cuz Hell is other people, so are you

Ready to dance on my grave too?

 

Right now the world’s not big enough to show how selfless I could be

With all of these people casting shadows on me

So let’s wait ‘till we’re finally alone on Earth to bring out our best moves…

 

'Till then let’s just keep

Spying on our neighbours, whispering prayers

“Let them fail before I do”

Cuz Hell is other people, so will you

Keep on dancing…

 

Cuz I won’t quit

Spying on my neighbours, whispering prayers

“Let them fail before I do”

Cuz Hell is everyone but you

Still I’m gonna dance on your grave too!

You don’t fathom me, I thought

For a while it’s just because I didn’t make any sense

If it’s hard for me to speak, I’m sure

It’s not because there’s nothing left here for me to tell

 

So marry me then leave me on the kitchen floor

You can still get lost

When you know what you’re looking for

Or burry me and wash away the dirt from your hands

I’m tired of trying to figure out

What you’ll never understand

 

And if I throw myself into the river

To help you keep your head above the water

What strength will I have left

To not drown together?

 

I might beg you not to leave, abandonned

I sometimes feel like I can’t go through all of this alone

What’s mine? What’s yours? What did we do wrong?

Walk the wire between our worlds, try not to lose myself

 

We love each other only the best we can

Through strengths and through flaws

Surrendering all we have

If you could only walk a mile in my shoes

Might be easier to let go

And for this love to lose

 

And if I hide my head in the sand

To avoid my reflexion in your eyes

The mirror might be dustier

But I’m not uglier

 

And if I throw myself into the river

To help them keep their heads above the water

What strength will I have left

To not drown together?

And if I hide my head in the sand

To avoid my reflexion in their eyes

No matter how loudly they applaud

I won’t feel any better

Cats got my tongue

All the bords flew out of my mind

Everybody’s working for the right rhyme

Cats got my tongue

 

Cats got my tongue

And all the air rushed out of my lungs

Everybody’s waiting for the right time

I see your soul

 

Cats got my tongue

All the words, bumping in my mind

Lonely lovers waiting for the right time

I see you’re mine

 

Cats got my tongue

All the words flew out of my mind

Everybody’s working for the right rhyme

Cats got my tongue

I could stand losing you

5 minutes forsaken

For 5 minutes hold me

300 seconds more and erase it all

5 minutes more

 

Dare me to promise and I would

Might kill it all and maybe I should

Are we too fragile to say we could

My heart of glass trapped in a heart of wood

 

You carve out the best in me

The love I knew was either lifeless or harmful

Now I’m naked and beautiful

 

So let’s not be average or usual

Hit me with hope, play me with passion

I’m all fear and expectations

 

Do I want it so bad that it gets complicated

Like I needed it so bad, I want it all but I complicate it

I want you all but complicated

 

I would love to let my guard down

But tried and failed way too many times

Now I’m in the dark, I’m blind

 

Dare me to promise and I would

Might kill it all and maybe I should

Are we too fragile to say we could

My heart of glass trapped in a heart of wood

 

And if I feel too heavy I’m gone

Dancing on this little tiny wire

When I’m with you I can’t help feeling alone

 

I guess it’s not about you or anything you could do

Keep on sticking around

I’ll get better and better and better at losing you

And better at loving me too

 

For 5 minutes I’m the one

For 5 minutes I’m your everything

But in 5 minutes I’m gone

In 5 minutes I am gone

 

Cuz I could stand losing you, you wouldn’t be the first

And anyway we’re all alone late at night in our beds

With ourselves

Yesterday we nailed our show

And this morning I wander a city

I still don’t know much about

It’s warmer than back home

But the wind blows colder

 

We share our mothers’ language

But I don’t get everything they say

How can I explain that?

Even in my country

Neighbors can be strangers too

 

Would they care to get to know me?

Eyes never meet in these streets

There must me something I’m ignoring

What’s the hurry for…?

 

I’m sowing my prayers in the air but I haven’t heard back from you lately

Although around there’re lots of reasons to keep believing

I haven’t crossed God’s path for years

Give me the strength to keep searching

Without knowing what to look for

Ignoring what I’m here for

 

Pigeon’s feces all over the ground

Scraping it off from under my shoes

Cuz here the light’s never bright

How can they make a living

Selling “I love Paris” shirts?

 

The nights are pretty wild

But when your candles are always lit

Thoughts aren’t so clear

Yeah, I do love hanging out

But in the velvet morning

I’m just alone and lost

And I’ve been feeling weird for a while

 

And there’s always “the bad”

Hanging over my head just waiting to knock me out

Give me the strength to not lose sight of what’s really right for me…

I dedicate my prayers to the Sacré Coeur but I haven’t heard back from her lately

Still everywhere there’re lots of reasons to keep believing

And if I miss my shot

You might not wanna try

To fly anymore

I washed your broken wings, wiped off the blood

It helped but didn’t cure

Many times you saw me fall down from the nest

And get back on my feet

I saw you laying on the ground, life’s unfair

Don’t let them say you’re weak

 

Cuz you’re a good guy and a smart guy

You’ll find your own way, sooner or later

We all have good times and bad times

But we never know which way the wind is gonna blow

 

It’s about time now, get ready to jump

You’re already on the roof

I won’t let anything hurt you

I couldn’t let you down

Cuz if I do...

 

You might not wanna try to fly anymore

 

If you’re a good guy or a bad guy

It’s hard now to tell the difference between

All these good guys and bad guys, you all look the same

In the crowd that’s circling around me

 

All waiting for me to jump

Now that I’m on the roof

I can see you fighting

Against closing your eyes

You wanna see me falling

But not hit the ground

Cuz if I do...

 

You might not wanna try to fly anymore

 

And if I miss my shot

We might all lose hope

Tell me: What would this all be for…?
