Sur La Pointe Des Pieds

Something about you reminds me of who I was
A state, a summer lost in the past
Something about you seems so familiar
A flash, an echo

Eyes into the void, ready to drift
The aquiline nose, the dimple in common
A slightly distracted air, all that on tiptoe
A heart-shaped mouth, the upper lip
A light down, the abandoned forehead
Barbed hair, all that on tiptoe

Something about you comes to awaken in me
The roots and the mists, the forgotten reefs
Something about you will never leave me
Memories of fortune

Eyes into the void, ready to drift
The aquiline nose, the dimple in common
A slightly distracted air, all that on tiptoe
A heart-shaped mouth, the upper lip
A light down, the abandoned forehead
Barbed hair, all that on tiptoe

Something about you attracts me and made me flee
I turn the mask inside out

Eyes staring into space, ready to drift away
Aquiline nose, dimple in common
A slightly distracted air, all of it on tiptoe
A heart-shaped mouth, an upper lip
A light down, a deserted forehead
Barbed hair, all of it on tiptoe

Something in you reminds me of who I was
Something that will never return
