L'amour en fuite

Caresses photographed on my sensitive skin
We can throw everything away, the moments, the photos, it's free
There's always the transparent sticky tape
To put all these torments in order

We were a beautiful picture, the strong lovers
We've set up housekeeping, happiness for two, I don't care
Quickly cut the pieces of glass and it bleeds
There it is on the tiles, the porcelain

We didn't hold out
Boo, boo, it's running down your cheek
We're leaving and there's nothing we have to explain
It's love on the run, love on the run

I slept, a child came into the lace
Leaving, coming back, moving, it's the swallows' game
As soon as I'm settled in, I leave the two-room apartment with kitchen
You can be called Colette, Antoine or Sabine

My whole life is about running after things that run away
Perfumed young girls, bouquets of tears, roses
My mother also put it behind her ear
A drop of something that smelled similar

We didn't hold out
Boo, boo, it's running down your cheek
We're leaving and there's nothing we have to explain
It's love on the run, love on the run

We didn't hold out
Boo, boo, it's running down your cheek
We're leaving, there's nothing we need to explain
It's love on the run, love on the run
