You have fair skin, I can see everything
Cover up, it’s cold, I’ll give you my jacket
Sorry if it’s ugly
I have less hair than last time
Yours is still the same
Maybe it was longer
But who cares

We’ll stop to chat
Between a newspaper and a quick coffee
In a rush to get the kids to school and then to work
The vacations are booked
A house by the sea
Good thing we didn’t forget
About your anxiety for the exams
My car, a piece of junk
Took us everywhere when we were looking for our place
In the kisses you gave me
There was the meaning of life
It felt like a game
And we lost the match

We moved on because it felt right
I even got a dog
A new couch
But it’s already wrecked
Starting over from scratch
With someone random
Who I hardly know except that
They don’t have your scent
Your name and last name
Now I’m not feeling it

We’ll stop to chat
Between a newspaper and a quick coffee
In a rush to get the kids to school and then to work
The vacations are booked
A house by the sea
Good thing we didn’t forget
About your anxiety for the exams
My car, a piece of junk
Took us everywhere when we were looking for our place
In the kisses you gave me
There was the meaning of life
It felt like a game
And we lost the match

On the regional trains
I still save you a seat
Even with old folks
Standing with a broken arm
I know we had a good time
And that’s worth everything
We’re commas that don’t have the courage to be a period.
