L'équilibre

The first night we fit together and then sweating we peel off
Back to back like a long caress that slowly slips away
The thousandth suffocates us, need air and need space
Our feet persist as they touch, then we avoid each other as we lace

We dream of an unknown taste in the mouth
Nostalgia no longer works, it's a pill that suffocates us
Then there's this woman circling around, dancing, sowing doubt
And watering it with her smiles, my god, the sensation is sweet

The fragile balance
When we navigate between the shores
I start, you finish
The storm holds us still

She presses where it hurts until I crack
Until my values collapse and I act
While she lies to me, everything explodes, there will be before and after
Like a dose of sulfurous adrenaline injected

Then I come home every night, a little later each time
Before every kiss, it's the shower, to say hello and goodnight
I feel like I'm going crazy, it's arrhythmia in the heart muscle
Am I losing my grip, is this really the end of our story

The fragile balance
When we navigate between the shores
I start, you finish
The storm holds us still

Tonight you didn't sleep, I found you in the dark
Eyes swollen with contempt, sadness, and rage
Voice broken by tears, you want to know all the details
Where? When? how? what does she have that you don't

Like a helpless child, I try to hold you in my arms
But the door slams, my life has just shattered
And the silence hits me when I don't hear your voice anymore
I try to assess the extent of the damage, but it's too late

The fragile balance
When we navigate between the shores
I start, you finish
The storm holds us still

I'm told you're doing well and you've moved on
He's nothing like me, he'll never make you suffer
But I'm not doing well, I haven't moved on
I just find myself like an idiot in a bad romantic comedy

Listening to our songs, watching our old movies
Until we know by heart the first letters we wrote to each other
But because love is too strong, it doesn't want us to back down
And I find you at my door with your two small suitcases

And the first night we fit together and then sweating we peel off
Back to back like a long caress that slowly slips away
The light suffocates us, need air and need space
And I feel like every night, it's you who comes home a little later
