One Life
It's so fragile, a paper plane cast to the wind1
I, I draw, I want to be just like Dad when I grow up
Airline pilot, always playing in the clouds
I'm five, I'd like to see what's on the other side of the wall
When I'm on my swing, it doesn't look that hard
But who took my book? Who drowned the dog?
Mama, tell Colombine to open the bathroom door, or else I'll kill her with my own hands
I'm fifteen and I don't have time, the bus won't wait
Especially since this time, it's not to school that the driver will take me
To Alaska, maybe, I don't think it's such a crazy idea
Damn! Where the hell did I put my keys? It's late, I gotta go home
I think I'm a little drunk, but not as much as Amandine
And we hit Benjamin, there, I think they're throwing up,
the both of them in the garden
And there's an exam tomorrow. I'm twenty, I'm the master of time, of time, of time
Of all times, if we walked any slower, we could go back in time
(Oh)
Darling, bring me my tie2, I'm late, hurry, before I beat you
I love you, but I'm tired and I'm in such a hury, I haven't even shaved yet, damn it!
I'm forty, I don't have the time I had when I was twenty anymore
I tell you that you're pretty, my angel, but quickly
I lost my hair,
Some of my teeth fell off, I don't as I'd like to anymore
I blink, the universe is so white seen from my eyes, and my wrinkles tell me
That I'm sixty, and I didn't see the clockmakers
Who came and told me that instead of enjoying writing down my time, I should love people
We should love people when we're still twenty (Oh)
Twenty (oh), twenty
