Tout S'Efface

I’ll wait for you on the corner of the street
When the lights start to dim
When you’ve danced too much, drank too much

When there’s nothing left
But my arm to ease your pain
We’ll leave together one more time

You’ll kiss me the way I hate
With that tenderness you do so well
Between you and me

Of course, time has passed
That our story is over
Maybe, but maybe not for me

Even if I know everything fades away
You’re still here and nothing changes
You like me, I love you, plain and simple
The difference is called love

Three laps around the highway, window down

And why did you call me back?
Why come looking for me?
To see you laugh, to see you cry without me

You don’t want me, you don’t want to lose me
So I’m making this choice for you
I’m the one who’s leaving

Even if I know everything fades away
You’re still here and nothing changes
You like me, I love you, plain and simple
The difference is called love

Even if I know everything fades away
You said it, everyone has their place
You like me, I love you, plain and simple
The difference is called love

Let me come by from time to time
Let me tell myself it’s like before
Let me go, even if I’m lying
Let me tell myself that with time

Even if I know
