Parole, Parole

Close to Me

- Sitting alone, leaning against the wall, reminiscing
The sun falling through gaps between the trees
And I am so sorry, in this way, it overflows,
the sweet fragrance
- Realizing you're my something, I’ll be next to you

- Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
- I want us to be together so don't go away
- You're always here with me
- I don't want to let go
- Now you are the one that holds this love song in your hands
- And now when I hold your hand
- I feel the warmth is different
- But still, I'm getting you close to me

- I am like a kitten that has lost its way, it's embarrassing
- All the time, the past, present, and future, everyday
- I’m looking at pictures
- Those memories sprung up, no matter the day
Only blue, so clear
- Realizing you're my something, I’ll be next to you

- Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
- I want us to be together so don't go away
- You're always here with me
- I don't want to let go
- Now you are the one that holds this love song in your hands
- And now when I hold your hand
- I feel the warmth is different
- But still, I'm getting you close to me

- You are the sun, you are the rain
- You are here, my perfect picture
- Here I am
One more (4), Can I ask?

- Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
- I want us to be together so don't go away
- You're always here with me
- I don't want to let go
- Now you are the one that holds this love song in your hands
- And now when I hold your hand
- I feel the warmth is different
- But still, I'm getting you close to me
- Oh, I’ll be next to you. Now, I’m getting you close to me

Healing Incantation

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

Heal what had been hurt
Change the Fate's design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

Beautiful Ghosts

Follow me home if you dare to
I wouldn't know where to lead you
Should I take chances
When no one took chances on me
So I watch from the dark
Wait for my life to start
With no beauty in my memory

All that I wanted
Was to be wanted
Too young to wander London streets
Alone and haunted
Born into nothing
At least you have something
Something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms
I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you have beautiful ghosts

Perilous nights, their voices calling
A flicker of light before the dawning
Out here the wild ones
Are taming the fear within me
Scared to call the my friends
And be broken again
Is it hope ? Just a mystical dream ?

All that I wanted
Was to be wanted
Too young to wander London streets
Alone and haunted
Born into nothing
At least you have something
Something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms
I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you have beautiful ghosts

And so maybe my home
Isn't what I had known
What I thought it would be
But I feel so alive
With theses phantoms of night
And I know that this life isn't safe
But it's wild and it's free

All that I wanted
Was to be wanted
I'll never wander London streets
Alone and haunted
Born into nothing
With them I have something
Something to cling to
I never knew I'd love this world
They've let me into
And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts

And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts

Speechless

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry
I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Written in stone, every rule, every word
Centuries-old and unbending
"Stay in your place, better seen and not heard"
Well now that story is ending

And I won't cry
I won't start to crumble
So come on try
Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live unspoken
All I know is I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn accross the sky
Hear the echo saying I...

... won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Causse I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless

Speechless

Love is strange

Love is strange and sometimes kind of gross
It's embarrassingly gassy
And it leaves its dirty underwear
In piles around the place
Love is rude, it has a sort of smell
And it thinks that you don't notice
And it blurts out things that make you want to smack its stupid face
And it's stubborn and confusing
It annoys you half to death
Then it grins that dopey grin
And you can't catch your breath

Love is strange and sometimes sort of smug
And it's really really bossy
And it messes with your head
Till you're a hopeless basket-case

And it's stubborn
It's insulting
It's obnoxious
It's the worse
You keep pushing it away
And you fall in head first

Love is strange
And often pretty drunk
It looks different without makeup
And it's nothing like the fairytales
You grow up dreaming of

Love is weird
Love is dumb
Love is strange
And that's what makes it love

All is found

Where the north wind meets the see
There's a river full of memory
Sleep my darling, safe and sound
For in this river, all is found

In her waters, deep and true
Lie the answers and a path for you
Dive down deep into her sound
But not too far or you'll be drowned

Yes she will sing to those who'll hear
And in her song all magic flows
But can you face what you most fear ?
Can you face what the river knows ?

Where the north wind meets the sea
There's a mother full of memory
Come my darling, homeward bound
When all is lost, then all is found

The Next Right Thing

I've seen dark before, but not like this
This is cold, this is empty, this is numb
The life I knew is over, the lights are out
Hello darkness, I'm ready to succumb

I follow you around, I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity, it pulls me down
But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
"You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing"

Can there be a day beyond this night
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you

How to rise from the floor
If it's not you I'm rising for ?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I can to do
The next right thing

I won't look to far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make

So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then
When it's clear that everything will ever be the same again
Then I'll make the choice to hear that voice
And do the next right thing

Tu ne sauras jamais

On parle souvent toute la nuit
Et on boit à nous, à nos vies
Un peu beaucoup
Je rentre, je te laisse avec lui
Ton image me suit, me suit
Un peu beaucoup

Tu ne sauras jamais
Comme je t'aime
Tu ne sauras jamais

Pourquoi je souris quand tu ris
Quand je vois briller tes yeux gris
Pourquoi je rougis quand il t'embrasse
Je t'aime et tu ne le sauras jamais

Couché dans le petit matin
Je rêve de toi en vain
Un peu beaucoup
Caché dans le rôle d'un ami
Je t'emmène danser la nuit
Un peu beaucoup

Tu ne sauras jamais
Comme je t'aime
Tu ne sauras jamais

Pourquoi mes mains flânent dans tes cheveux
Et que je veux tout ce que tu veux
Pourquoi je pars en cédant ma place
Je t'aime et tu ne le sauras jamais

Si je te donnais ma vie
Chaque moment de ma vie
Mon amour jusqu'au bout
Et personne entre nous
Comme si depuis la nuit des temps
Nous avions rendez-vous
Ce soir exactement
Les yeux fermés, le tout pour le tout

Oh, si je pouvais crier au ciel
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Comme un écho éternel
Pour qu'à jamais tu te souviennes

Pourquoi, je souris quand tu ris
Quand je vois briller tes yeux gris
Pourquoi, je rougis quand il t'embrasse
Je t'aime et t'aimerai à jamais
Et toi tu ne le sauras jamais

Bound to you

Sweet love, sweet love
Trapped in your love
I've opened up unsure I can trust
My heart and I were buried in dust
Free me, free us

You're all I need when I'm holding you tight
If you walk away I will suffer tonight

I found a man I can trust
And boy, I believe in us
I am terrified to love for the first time
Can't you see that I'm bound in chains
I've finally found my way
I am bound to you
I am bound to you

So much, so young, I've faced on my own
Walls I built up became my home
I'm strong and I'm sure
There's a fire in us
Sweet love, so pure

I catch my breath, we're just one beating heart
And I brace myself, please don't tear this apart

I've found a man I can trust
And boy, I believe in us
I am terrified to love for the first time
Can't you see that I'm bound in chains
I've finally found my way
I am bound to you
I am bound to...

Finally the moment's here
I embrace my fears
All that I have been carrying all these years
Do I risk it all, come this far just to fall, fall ?

I can trust
And boy, I believe in us
I am terrified to love for the first time
Can't you see that I'm bound in chains
I've finally found my way
I am bound to you
I am bound to you

You haven't seen the last of me

Feeling broken, barely holding on
But there's just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I'll get up again
Don't count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees
I've been pushed right pass the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back, back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

They can say that I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me, you don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast

I've been brought down to my knees
I've been pushed right pass the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back, back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

There will be no fade out, this is not the end
I'm down now but I'll be standing tall again
Times are hard but I was built tough
I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

I've been brought down to my knees
I've been pushed right pass the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back, back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince

You know I adore you
I'm crazier for you
Than I was at sixteen
Lost in a film scene
Waving homecoming queens
Marching band playing
I'm lost in the lights

American glory
Faded before me
I'm feeling helpless
Ripped up my prom dress
Running through rose thorns
I saw the score board
And ran for my life

No cameras catch my pageant smile
I counted days, I counted miles
To see you there, to see you there
And now the storm is coming, but

It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hall way she's a bad bad girl
The whole school is rolling fake dice
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and the heartbreak Prince
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you

My team is losing
Battered and bruizing
I see the high fives
Between the bad guys
Leave with my head hung
You are the only one
Who seems to care

American stories
Burning before me
Now I'm feeling hopeless
The damsels are depressed
Boys will be boys then
Where are the wize men
Darling I'm scared

No cameras catch my muffled cries
I counted days, I counted miles
To see you there, to see you there
It's been a long time coming but

It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hall way she's a bad bad girl
The whole school is rolling fake dice
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and the heartbreak Prince
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you

And I don't want you to go
I don't really wanna fight
'Cause nobody's gonna win
I think you should come home
And I don't want you to go
I don't really wanna fight
'Cause nobody's gonna win
I just thought you should know

It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hall way she's a bad bad girl
I just thought you should know
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and the heartbreak Prince
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you

Francis

Francis, tu as tant de choses à dire
Mais le tout reste renfermé
Et quand tu ne sais plus quoi dire
Tu te mets à pleurer
Mais ça ton public ne le voit pas
Tu l'incites à rêver
Pendant que toi tu le regardes

Francis, les mots restent bien coincés
Devant cette fille qui ne demande
Pas mieux que de se faire aimer
Mais toi, tu ne sais pas comment t'y prendre
Ta gorge se resserre et ton coeur bat de plus belle
Pendant que tes yeux sont sur elle

Mais moi, je ne t'oublierai pas
Et je compte sur toi pour venir en aide
À ceux qui ressentent pour toi
Ce que tu écris dans ces chansons pour elle

Francis, je m'en vais bientôt
Et je pense très très fort à toi
Pendant que mes doigts au piano
Jouent tout ce que je te dois
Mais rappelle-toi que tu peux
Avoir le monde à tes pieds
Si tu ne te laisses pas abattre
Par ceux qui te laissent de côté

Mais moi, je ne t'oublierai pas
Et je compte sur toi pour venir en aide
À ceux qui ressentent pour toi
Ce que tu écris dans ces chansons pour elle

On My Own

On my own, pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him 'til the morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That's I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although, I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love him but when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him but everyday I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own.

Soon you'll get better

The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
In doctor's office lighting I didn't tell you I was scared
That was the first time we were there
Holy orange bottles, eatch night I pray to you
Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too
And I say to you

Ooh, Soon you'll get better
Ooh, Soon you'll get better
Ooh, You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to

I know delusion when I see it in the mirror
You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal
I just pretend it isn't real
I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky
I know I'll never get it, there's not a day that I won't try
And I'll say to you

Ooh, Soon you'll get better
Ooh, Soon you'll get better
Ooh, You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to

And I hate to make this all about me
But who am I supposed to talk to ?
What am I supposed to do
If there's no you ?

This won't go back to normal, if it ever was
It's been years of hoping and I keep saying it because
'Cause I have to

Ooh, you'll get better
Ooh, Soon you'll get better
Ooh, You'll get better soon
Ooh, Soon you'll get better
Ooh, Soon you'll get better
Ooh, You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
