Christophe Maé "On trace la route" lyrics

On trace la route

Viens faire un tour dans ma têteTu y verra tout ce qui s'y passe et qui m'empêche de sourireAllez viens, ne fais pas le sourd, lève la têteLe monde rame au large sans mêm y voir la lueur du jourPendant que nos âmes prennent l'eau, sombrent en pleine merNos cœurs comme des bateaux se perdent en solitaire

Refrain :On trace la route, on s'regarde pasOn croise l'amour, la nuit mais on ne le voit pasOn change de route, on s'regarde pasOn croise la mort, la misère mais on ne la croit pas

Viens faire un tour dans ma têteTu y verra ce qui s'y passe et ce qui m'empêche de dormirSurtout ne rien direJuste « bonjour » c'est tout bête

Pour changer tout ça, pour enfin voir la lueur du jourPendant que nos âmes manquent d'eauDans la traversée du désertNos cœurs tombent de hautDevant l'oasis éphémère

Refrain

Refrain 2 :On trace la route, on oublie parfoisQue l'amour est bien souvent en bas de chez soiOn change de route sans savoir pourquoiOn sait pourtant que la mort l'emportera

Et si tu voulais bien te poserUn peu sur mon épauleJe t'emmènerais loin voyagerAu sud comme au nord du pôle

RefrainRefrain 2

Alors moi je vis et souris à tous ces gensQui veulent bien se prendre la mainAlors moi je vis et souris à tous ces gensQui veulent bien faire un bout de chemin

We Trace the Path

Come take a ride inside my headYou will see everything that keeps me smilingCome on, I'm not deaf, look up,see the world rowing away without even seeing daylightWhile our souls tread water, sinking at seaOur hearts are like boats, lost and alone

We trace the path, we don't careWe travel through love, we don't notice the nightWe change our path, we don't careWe travel through death, the misery we don't believe in

Come take a ride inside my headYou'll see everything that keeps me awakeIt's important that you don't say anythingEven "hello" is quite stupid

To change this, to finally see daylightwhile our souls are without waterIn traveling through the desert,our hearts fall from on highbefore the ephemeral oasis

We trace the path, we don't careWe travel through love, we don't notice the nightWe change our path, we don't careWe travel through death, the misery we don't believe in

We trace the path, we forget sometimesthat love is found where you least expect itWe change our path without knowing why,yet we know that death is waiting

And if you want to restfor a bit on my shoulderI'd take you on a journeyto the north and south poles

We trace the path, we don't careWe travel through love, we don't notice the nightWe change our path, we don't careWe travel through death, the misery we don't believe in

We trace the path, we forget sometimesthat love is found where you least expect itWe change our path without knowing why,yet we know that death is waiting

So I smiled and I saw all these peoplewho are willing to take my handSo I smiled and I saw all these peoplewho want to go far away
