The first picture, our first picture
Still for a second, wrapped in a whisper within you
Viva the Seine! I'll run the bridges
Go down these boulevards again, with you they feel so different
It's like nothing here, nothing starts
Then you and me, all at once
I'm asking, you're waiting
I'm smiling to let you know
This city is calling
Swings open and holds me now
Running hands with the night
My shoulders, the streets
Pull me back in the light
You're gonna take me back, you're gonna take me back
Back to a place that I nearly forgot
I've been pulled lace and I've felt over
I've felt pity's touch, not just another day, just another's luck
Look what it did to us
Oh, it's that slow arm of happiness, you and me, holding on
I'm asking, you're waiting
I'm smiling to let you know
This city is calling
Swings open and holds me now
Running hands with the night
My shoulders, the streets
Pull me back in the light
Oh, just spend their time
Those empty rooms, emptyin', they take a while
But it's a quiet fall
Just slip away, that last mark on the wall
I want to take a turn, I want to take this turn
End up sorry when midnight bends
Out of the window, oh, out of this madness
Help me keep this, this chance together
It's slipping like rain on glass, it's slipping like a twisted dance
It's dying in an empty vase, it's dying 'cause you tried so hard
I'm calling home, there's no one waiting
But you wanna sleep while it all says nothing
And you wanna stop, and the cord's been cut
'Cause you were never connected, it had already dropped
Got this pain in my chest, an arm that's numb
And he's waiting to be blown back, back to somewhere he belongs
I'm frightened, I'm frightened
Of chances drowned in grey
I'm closing, yeah, I'm closing now
'Cause love has turned to pearl, and I said
