Hier Encore

Just yesterday I was twenty years old
I caressed time and enjoyed life
How we play love
And I lived at night
Without counting on my days which were fleeing in time
I made so many plans that remained in the air
I had so many hopes that were blown away
That I remain lost not knowing where to go
Eyes searching for the sky but heart buried in the ground

Just yesterday I was twenty years old
I was wasting time thinking I'd stop it
And to hold him back, even get ahead of him
I just ran and got out of breath
Ignoring the past, conjugating to the future
I preceded any conversation with myself
And gave my opinion that I wanted the right one
To criticize the world casually

Just yesterday I was twenty years old
But I wasted my time doing crazy things
Which basically leaves me with nothing really precise
Only a few wrinkles on the forehead and the fear of boredom
Because my loves died before they existed
My friends are gone and won't come back
By my fault I created a void around me
And I wasted my life and my young years
From the best and the worst, throwing away the best
I froze my smiles and I froze my tears
Where are they now, now my twenty years?
