Retiens-Moi

If you see me turning my head
Looking too much out the window
Oh, hold me back

If you catch me with a heavy heart
Packing just one suitcase
Oh, hold me back

Hold me back
Stop my steps
Let your love siren sing
Open your velvet nets
Hold me back, love me
In the depths of your promises again
Right up against your body

If you see weapons in my eyes
Firing off the signal for tears
Oh, hold me back

If I get too tough and too proud
If I take summer for winter
Oh, hold me back

Hold me back
Stop me
From preferring night over day
From saying "I love you" without "always"
Hold me back
Carry me away
Even without a call for help
Hold me back, it's your turn

Oh, when everything is fragile
When I look like an easy target
Please, hold me back

Give me
The peace of your wanderings
The warmth of your luck and forgetfulness
In the curve of your hips

Give me
What I lost one day
On these roads and detours
Searching for the way
To your hands

To your hands
Hold me back
