When in front of fifteen people
I didn't believe it at all
_____
When I was watching for the mailman
At the very start of the month
_____
When I was broke
_____
When I took the Corail train
_____
When the coffee was cold
_____
On highway rest stops
_____
When beneath my fingers slid
_____
Kilometers of doubt
_____
Way before all that, she was there
_____
Way before all that, she was there
_____
When the peddler of ambitions
_____
Like you sell shoes
_____
When I walked down the street
_____
When I dreamt of an accomplice
_____
To rob the industry
_____
When the backstage guy
_____
Asked me, who are you
_____
When I played in bars
_____
And people cared
_____
Way less about my guitar
_____
Than about the clinking glasses
_____
Way before all that, she was there
_____
Way before all that, she was there
When we lived, just the two of us
_____
In a tiny little room
_____
Dreaming of something a bit better
_____
And of a cat that meows
_____
When I paid the subscription
_____
Macaroni every night
_____
Looked like hope
_____
When I was at a dead end
_____
Doing nothing but stupid sh*t
_____
When life pulled its dirty tricks
_____
When I needed her
_____
When I needed her
_____
Way before all that, she was there
_____
Way before all that, she was there
_____
Way before all that, she was there
