Je me souviens lyrics

Dear Mother can you hear my footsteps?

I’m so close, I’m right there.

I’m almost home, so unprepared

To notice yet ignore

How hard it is to be around you.

I've came clean, I’m washed out.

I've flooded the engine, stranded myself.

This home, native land

They speak in words I can’t understand.

So when I’m standing on this street

like I have a hundred times,

You don’t even glance at me

you just pass me by.

I remember your face

from the moment I first saw you

I never looked away.

I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturda

when you told me

We could never be together,

and I could never change.

Mother, Mother is it you who’s calling?

Lights out, lay down,

We’ll sleep when we’re dead

that time is now.

But soft speak will drown out

How I can’t do what’s right around you.

Cold breeze, no coat,

Excuses used to take words from my throat.

False hope confirmed.

Deceit's a language I can’t hope to learn.

So when we’re standing on this street

like we have a hundred times,

We will celebrate the years

you stalled and couldn't decide.

I used to believe that every person had a purpose

In this swirling ball of indecision that consumes us all.

I used to believe that every person had a person

They could always count on and not be scared of

one for everyone.

So when I’m standing on this street

like I have a hundred times,

Can I walk away and finally leave

finally leave all of this behind?
