A COUPLE OF DAYS

WILD

I took the time I needed

Went back and tried to reset

I still do not know

If this phase is over by now

The pain just settled in

my body uninvited

Seized the light

And took down the party in my mind

I guess I hate the silence

The tears have kept me quiet

And I've learned we only cry

When we loose somehow

My shoulders are so tight

I no longer dream at night

And all I do is feeling guilty for being sad

I can't keep doin' this

Find the cure and pure bliss

I can't keep doin' this

Fix my heart and point the glitch

Can you tell me what I feel at night ?

'Cause I can't even find

The right words to describe

Can you tell me why I'm feelin' sad ?

Can you tell me why I'm feelin' mad ?

I can't seem to act normal

When my thoughts go wild

So I came home to complain

You hugged me then you listened

I said « you're the only landmark

On this wrinkled map »

I chase things I don't posess

I use to hate materialism

I'm like a trapped bird

That is slowly loosing its feathers

I don't know what I'm looking for

My head is full

'Cause I'm tired of hearing « lesson learned »

And I regret how much I believed in the future

WILD

A COUPLE OF DAYS

Listen to me, believe me

when I say there's nothing wrong with us

I got something to tell you

Oh baby trust me

I have always said that I love you to death

That I'll always stay with you

I always do

Can I share it ?

This overwhelming monotony I feel

There must be something to do

I already know

I'm gonna leave baby don't be mad

You have nothing to do with that

Won't even have the time to notice I'm gone

I want to run away just for a while

Leave for a couple of days out of town

I don't need to know where I'm going

I want the nightfall I want the sun

I wanna feel summer's just begun

I'm just living a dream that I made up

I was wilder when I was younger

And I just can't stand that

It was my signature

Then I wonder if I'm still able

To do things that I love

And that don't necessarily includes you

Can I sayit ?

That I'm craving a long moment on my own

Find the right spot by a lake

And dive right in

I'm gonna leave baby don't be mad

You have nothing to do with that

Won't even have the time to notice I'm gone

I want to run away and free my mind

Write a couple of songs

Take my time

I don't need to know where I'm going

I want the river I want the sun

I wanna break free and have some fun

I'm just living a dream that I made up

A COUPLE OF DAYS

FROM TIME TO TIME

I remember talkin' about you a lot in my previous albums

I was driving the other day by the coast

And then this music came on

Like a flasback that burns too bright I almost couldn't see the road

I pictured the first time that I saw you

I was so nervous that I placed my hands underneath the table

We went for a walk and the story began

It's crazy how simple and natural that was

I remember everything now.

I try to hide it but when this song is on

It always takes me back

I can't even tell you

All the memories I've got

Back when I was 22

And then from time to time

I wonder what my life would be like

If I stayed with you

It lasted a year and we've never really been together

If you already know my song « Simple » then

You would know what I'm talkin' about

This love was a full concept, a very singular state of mind

I was contempling you like a work of art

Always saving a space for you in my heart

I'm not really a mystical but this feeling was at the time my religion

We took different roads and I'm glad I was mature enough not to dwell on the past

I know it may sounds like it but I'm just sharing a thought

I ran into you about a year ago in Paris

And you looked different and caught by your demons again

I'm just hoping you're ok now

Now you're so far gone

Locked in my past where you belong

FROM TIME TO TIME

HAVE IT ALL

Am I doing this right babe ?

And please, just be honest

You see I got lost somewhere

A place with no name

I swear this time I will listen

And all my friends look unwell

Anxieties and stress

I notice they try to relate to mine

But they can't

I wish I could have it all

Money, fame, career and love

I wish I could turn back time

Take some days off to unwind

Then I'll try to play it cool

Give new ideas time to bloom

I wish I could have it all

Recognition and control

I wish I just could think less

So I'll save some time off for myself

Am I depriving my brain

Of some kind of ambition

Or have I overestimated my damn potential

Wanted to be seen, leave a legacy

My dreams aren't rare and that's alright with me

But there is so much more to do

It's hard to process

Oh how could it be enough ?

You and I is a gift I rely on

I will take my chances

I will design a life

Where all the stars remain aligned

I wish I could have it all

I don't wanna come undone

I wish I could live things twice

Wish I didn't have to sleep at night

Now I'll try to play it cool

Give my ideas time to bloom

I wish I could have it all

My sanity, protect my soul

I wish I could expect less

I just need to save some time for myself

HAVE IT ALL

THE KEEPER

Ain't it funny

The way you know me so well

I no longer have secrets

Ain't it funny

The way you anticipate

Share my dreams and share my bed

You know me so well

And I don't wanna scare you or put up a fight

But you know I need lonely times

More than once in a while

So darlin' look no further

I'm not gonna leave this world

I've been searching for you long enough

Be well aware of my luck

Make sure it never burns

And you know I have told everyone

You're such a keeper

Ain't it funny

The way we communicate

When the words don't need to be said

I still can't believe it

Ain't it funny

Our endless bottles of wine

Watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S 'til you close your eyes

Blow the candles, hold you tight

And I don't wanna scare you or put up a fight

But you know I need lonely times

More than once in a while

The keeper, the keeper

THE KEEPER

UNTIL I COLLAPSE

One thing I know now

Is that I cannot go on like that

The longer I stay the stronger it makes me mad

I hate the silence so loud

That keeps me busy 'til I throw it all away

Lose control of my body

I thought I knew myself the whole time

I was just torturing my soul somehow

It's never enough until I collapse

And I tend to forget we only live once

And each day I try to run too many miles

I can't keep up, I'm feelin' worn now

This woman told me the truth, a diagnosis

I knew the moment I heard it

It would change my whole world

Pictured a white room and doors

I kicked them open as usual

I cried and I cried

I think I've waited too long

I thought I knew myself the whole time

I was just torturing my soul somehow

It's never enough until I collapse

And I tend to forget we only live once

And each day I try to run too many miles

I can't keep up, I'm feelin' torn now

And I've been following the rules

It's been four months

I can't give up on you

I resent my addictions, my bad habits

The toxic rituals, land back on my feet

Oh My

I thought I could live forever like that

I can't even count the things I realized

So many doors I have to close

« What's essential now ? »

And I tend to forget I can take my time

Listen to and respect the body I've got

I can't keep up

Otherwise I'll die

UNTIL I COLLAPSE

FAREWELL

I bid to my old self

'Cause when met

I shut some doors

I won't open again

It's hard to look back

I bid farewell

To my youth and my loneliness

I see my face and my body changing

It's hard to see that

Time flies, I can't even ask for help

Won't let down

Don't wanna fight

I don't even ask for help

Won't let down and I wonder

Don't wanna try

To make up for lost time

Won't hold back the life I once had

I know I couldn't have a better past

You can call it what you want

'Cause I can't make it last

I bid farewell to a couple friends

And I miss them

The alchemy doesn't feel quite the same

It's hard to see that

Even if I'd want to create more

Good ideas won't come up like before

I lose myself in fear of losing hope

It's hard to think that

Oh I'm leaving tonight

A suitcase, a couple bags

And I'll drive until it's dark

And free my mind

I'll free my mind

I can't make it last

It's farewell

FAREWELL

IT'LL BE FINE

I've been wanting my damn life

A shelter for my quiet and lonely times

I thought about buying a house

Somewhere by a lake in a small town

I know this isn't what I need yet

I'm way too young to think about it

For now it'll be fine

I'll keep doin' my shit for a while

All the things I'm good at

Be still and be loud

I have the greatest lover by my side

And I have plans for a lifetime

I've been worrying way too much

Your words are as delicate as your touch

Sometimes I miss my oldself

But you still ignore you're curing me as well

I haven't worked on my issues yet

I hope I'll never leave a word unspoken

For now it'll be fine

I'll keep doin' my shit for a while

All the things I'm great at

Be still and be loud

I have the greatest lover by my side

And I have plans for a lifetime

Beautiful but ever so fragile

Silence oftentimes paves a path

I'll hold onto these words I learned

I've reached the point of no return

My eyes are leaking drops of happiness

I really did my best

For now it'll be fine

I'll keep doin' my shit for a while

All the things I'm great at

Be soft and be hard

I have the greatest lover by my side

Who gets me everytime

Listen hear me out

I'll keep on writing and singing the things

I just can't live without

Say what's on my heart

I know I will get older anyhow

So I'll just keep that in mind

IT'LL BE FINE

ENDLESS RIVERS

I'm in the middle of a brand new club

They let me sit around

They raise their glasses to the power of ambition

Like a privilege they proudly think they've been gifted

Deserving faces

I've been witnessing every minute of it

They try to convince you

Money is the key to satisfy any desire

I tend to become like them

A voice inside my head is asking me to fight

I'm drowning in endless rivers

Battling with the waters

And I forgot my truth and I tend to feel sorry for myself

If that's the life they want

I'm glad we're not the same

I'm turning 30

And I'm dating someone who's older than me

My goals have changed

But I don't like the raw pressure that goes with them

Like a privilege I'm always thrilled I'm invited

To the garden parties

Fashionista's speeches, houses by the sea

I'm slowly getting used to it

I crave what I didn't want to fall for

There's no way back

Now I know

They try to convince you

Money is the key to be proud of who you are

I tend to become like them

A voice inside my head is asking me to fight

I'm drowning in endless rivers

Battling with the waters

And I forgot my truth and I tend to feel sorry for myself

If that's the life they want

I'm glad we're not the same

HERE I GO

I have been looking back on my life lately

How the wind blew away the days I was so lonely

I'm wondering what it would be like to still be searching

For the life we lead

I can tell now we have it all

An eternal setting sun

You've got a heart so inviting

I can't help jumpin' in

Here I go

I can count on you in the dark

Fix me if I fall apart

I'm not the same when you leave town

I'm no longer scared to fight

Here I go

We have been rushing to know what we might become

I'll keep you safe, buy us a home

I'm convering you with the daily embraces you need

And you look at me like I was one of these mythical things

Let's get the hell outta here

I know a place so romantic

I will read in your eyes some poetry

I NEEDED YOU TONIGHT

It's saturday night in summer, alone

I hear some people laughing through the window

First thing that crossed my mind in my cringy twisted thoughts

Is « look at where you are now, here you're never gonna be found »

Hold on tight, I miss what's used to be ours

I'm crumbling into pieces

I needed you tonight

Time's running through our fingers

Are we all just settling down ?

I can't seem to find a friend

When my lover's not around

What's the point of making plans

If you're not here with me tonight

So I would tell you how I feel lately

That I've never felt this lonely, trust me

You'll always be the one I deeply feel related to

We've reached the highest point of « no secrets » years ago

I never knew how to cry for help

It's the goddamn fight of mine

I'm crumbling into pieces

I needed to talk tonight

The kind of deep conversation we can only have

I've lost a couple friends and I still don't know why

What's the point of making plans

If you can't make them with me tonight

MORE THAN I SHOULD

I don't quite know what to do anymore

Too many things left unsaid

I should let you go

You know I put my life on hold

Evolved around your emotions

Tried to reach many times

What a quiet overdue goodbye

When you were up

When you were down

I've always given you my best

More than I should have

When you were up

When you were down

I've tried to understand

More than I should have

You know I write more than I speak

And all of this just me weak

I have been broken in the past

It's a misery you act like that

Still growing up at 29

I guess your thoughts are intertwined

I don't wanna feel like this anymore

Ease the pain

I did nothing wrong

I pay a price I can't afford

I don't call it a battle

If I already lost

MORE THAN I SHOULD
