Chanson : Down The Line

Couplet 1 :
Two months alone in my head,
Now I’m wondering :
Was it even real ?
I don’t want you to disappear,
You have no idea how dangerous it feels to love you,
Because I never felt that safe with anyone,
And I don’t care if I’m going wild again,
I need your eyes to get lost in them,

Pré-refrain 1 :
And that day, your smile,
I could feel it in my bones,
So, tell me,
Is this all gone,
Or is there still a chance,
Even the tiniest one ?

Refrain 1 :
Was I supposed to resist,
Add barriers on the top of the distance ?
I know I shouldn’t love you,
But I didn’t mean to…

Couplet 2 :
What’s the point in watching the movie again ?
I already know the end,
And I’m just stuck on you,
Oh, can’t you feel you’re all I see,
When I close my eyes,
The only one I trust,
When I hate myself,
And stay up all night ?

Pré-refrain 2 :
And I couldn’t imagine
The first time you crossed my mind,
That panic would turn into overwhelm,
And overwhelm into softness,
And that your smile would undo me,
Oh, there’s no turning back…

Refrain 2 :
I’ve come too far to step back now,
And maybe that’s where I was supposed to go,
Straight into the mouth of the unknown,
And I fell on purpose,

Couplet 3 :
Now, I’m just sitting here,
My legs failing to support me,
And my eyes are betraying me
By filling up with tears,
I’m not giving up,
But I’m crying the very possibility of you
Reaching out for me,
Was it supposed to end so quietly ?

Pré-refrain 3 :
And I don’t know how to show you,
I need you to see,
What my lips can’t say,
I need you to feel,
What it means
When my eyes go wet.

Refrain 3 :
So, won’t you show up,
If I was craving your presence ?
Won’t you take me against you,
If I was craving safety ?

Outro :
I can’t just cross it out,
It’s still alive in every breath I draw,
And I won’t ask for your truth,
’Cause only truth hurts, right ?
