Desjardins

Even though I know all of Desjardins' songs by heart
I still don’t have a green thumb and I don’t know the Latin names
Of all the flowers on this planet, I’m not like you, but don’t worry
I’ll make a monumental effort to keep my fake plants alive
I’m not as disciplined or even the super tidy type
The right word would be messy or artistic temperament
The evidence is clear and true, no need for biology
Aside from these trivialities, you and I are just copy and paste

An angel in sneakers under a raincoat a bit too big
It’s not because I’m your daughter that I’m saying this, it’s obvious
But when you walk in small steps, people turn around with wide eyes
But when you walk in small steps, the sky is just a simple extra

When the wise man points to the moon, the fool looks at the finger
When the wise man points to the moon, you don’t look
You already know her well, and everyone knows that between you two
There’s like a friendship, a resemblance, a certain something
