Je reste [English translation]

Fallen from the nest,

I land into your arms

Fallen from the bed

When you don't want me anymore

You promise, you swear,

You make the vow, sometimes,

But always more unsure

When the ring slips from your finger

I stay at the edge of you

You stay on the fringe of me

When we get closer, we hurt each other,

We softly1 tear one another apart

It tastes like a story, but

It's a lot more than that

When we give ourselves over, we surrender

We softly draw one another

We softly draw one another

Diving, together,

Wrapped around in the covers

Everything gets mixed up

Cloud number nine2 and the thunderstorm

I promise, I swear,

I make the vow, sometimes,

But always more unsure

When the ring burns my finger

I stay at the edge of you

You stay on the fringe of me

When we get closer, we hurt each other,

We softly tear one another apart

It tastes like a story, but

It's a lot more than that

When we give ourselves over, we surrender

We softly draw one another

I stay at the edge of you

You stay on the fringe of me

When we get closer, we hurt each other,

We softly tear one another apart

It tastes like a story, but

It's a lot more than that

When we give ourselves over, we surrender

We softly draw one another...

We softly draw one another

We tear one another apart
