Allez Reste

I got memories that cough
And a memory that stutters
Time slipped away quietly
Without telling me

And no matter how hard I try
I keep trying endlessly
What I saw with my own eyes
Has faded

You, the laughter of my childhood
You, the smell of my school
You, my love lost in advance
I'm afraid you'll fly away

Come stay, come stay a little longer
You and me growing old
Come stay, come stay a little longer
You and me doing our best

I dreamed of being an elephant
Now I've become a sparrow
You can't tame time
This strange bird

We lose the suitcases
That hold our moments
And this emptiness in our closets
In giant steps

You, the laughter of my childhood
You, the smell of my school
You, my love lost in advance
I'm afraid you'll fly away
