Because it's you
If you think that one day I would drop you1
for some details, simple trivialities
Don't worry: I will not be
that easy to fool
If you fear one day I would let you fade
the end of summer, a milestone to get over
Don't worry: nobody else could
that easily fill-in for you2
Oh no, not you
not you, really
'cause you're the only one to whom I can
say "with you, getting old isn't a scare"3
because it's you
yes, just for that
'cause I'll admit, to stay alone in this
insane world isn't quite all that tempting4
If you think one day all is to redo
that we must change, how well were we long ago5
Don't worry: I won't complicate things6
Why would one bother?7
And don't you start to hide yourself for me
Oh no, I know you too well for that8
By heart, do I know your face
your desires, these spots on your body9
that tell me "more"10
'cause we are so strong11
Because it's you, I'll dare to face it all
And you are the one whom I could forgive12
because it's you
yes, just for that
Because it's you I would want a child someday
not simply because it's the right time
Because it's you
to see you in it13
'cause flawlessness isn't my thing anymore16
because it's you
'cause you're the only one to whom I can
say "with you, getting old isn't a scare"3
because it's you
yes, just for that...
