Entre Nous lyrics

We are secrets to each other

Each one's life a novel

No-one else has read.

Even joined in bonds of love,

We're linked to one another

By such slender threads.

We are planets to each other,

Drifting in our orbits

To a brief eclipse.

Each of us a world apart,

Alone and yet together,

Like two passing ships.

Chorus

Just between us,

I think it's time for us to recognize

The differences we sometimes fear to show.

Just between us,

I think it's time for us to realize

The spaces in between

Leave room for you and I to grow.

We are strangers to each other,

Full of sliding panels,

An illusion show.

Acting well-rehearsed routines

Or playing from the heart?

It's hard for one to know.

We are islands to each other,

Building hopeful bridges

On a troubled sea.

Some are burned or swept away,

Some we would not choose,

But we're not always free.
