It's the house where I grew up
Where we lived together
It's a season a Wednesday
Toys in the room
On the wall in the back we trace a line
Every month of September
Both our first names measured up
Then yanked the tongue
I will count to ten
I am the child and the son
I was six years old
My first life
It's your homes and so it is
We don't live together anymore
We shut up before the yells
I lock myself up in the room
The volume cranked high I draw a line
And my heart to crack
When your two names was splitting up
I was holding my tongue
I will count to ten
The teenager and the son
I was sixteen years old
My second life
It's your home after midnight
I believe that we look alike
We like each other and it's enough
I follow you in the bedroom
But I know deep down that nothing is real
That we mustn't wait anything
It's a first name to whisper
To put on the tongue
I will count to ten
I am the adult and the son
At twenty six years old
My third life
It's my home a few friends
Happiness it seems
An horizon that brightens up
A love in my bedroom
I've got new lines there on the forehead
Every month of September
And a first name that will be missing
On the tip of my tongue
I will count to ten
The men will always be the son
In a little while
My new life
