I'll wrap my heart in silver foil
And cancel my phone number
My love songs will stay there, in my piano
I will have thrown the key to the piano in the water
I'll go and see the kings of the flea-market
"Sell my heart, for three francs fifty"
You knew so well how to listen to it
That my life ended
When you left me
I wanted to tell you that I'm waiting for you
And I don't care if I'm wasting my time.
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
Without becoming discouraged yet.
Like a person who no longer has anyone
And falls asleep near the telephone,
And smiles when someone wakes them
--but it turns out to just be the sun.
The other day, I saw someone who looked like you
And the street was like a trembling photograph
If it was you who passed by, the day I was walking
If it's really you, I've already seen the scene
I look at you
And you look at me.
I wanted to tell you that I'm waiting for you
And I don't care if I'm wasting my time.
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
This evening, tomorrow, it doesn't matter when
Like a person who no longer has anyone
And falls asleep near the telephone
And who looks for you, upon waking
All alone in the sunlight, I wait for you.
I wanted to say that I'm waiting for you.
If you knew how I'm waiting for you!
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
When will you be here? I'm waiting for you
If you knew how I'm waiting for you!
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you all the time
I wanted to say that I'm waiting for you.
