We'd said see you in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30
On the steps of the Square of Great Men
The day's come and so have I
But I don't wanna be the first
What if we've got nothing left to say, what if, what if
I wander round the neighborhood
It's crazy how a spring sunset
Brings back the same sunset from 10 years ago
Sidewalks worn down by lowered eyes
What did I do with those years
I didn't float calmly on the water
I didn't swim with the wind at my back
Last straight stretch, Rue Soufflot
Four, three, two, one, zero
We'd said see you in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30
On the steps of the Square of Great Men
I'd wanted her so many times
Will lovely Séverine look at me
Eric wanted to explore the subconscious
Does he resurface now and then
I'm a bit scared to cross the mirror
If I hadn't come I'd have got the night wrong
In front of an antique shop window
I picture friendship's reunion
You haven't changed, what're you up to
You got married, you've got three kids
You made it, you're a doctor
And you Pascale, still laughing at nothing
We'd said see you in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30
On the steps of the Square of Great Men
I've known high tides and low tides
Like you, like you, like you
I've hit storms and squalls
Like you, like you, like you
Every dead love cleared the way for a new one
And you Marco who just wanted to be happy in life
And you François, and you Laurence, and you Marion
And you Gégé, and you Bruno, and you Evelyne
Well that's great, pals
We've said it all, we shake hands
We can't lay 10 years on the table
Like you spread your letters in Scrabble
In the window I see the reflection
Of a schoolgirl behind me
She goes left, I'll follow her
We'd said see you in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30
Hey, how about meeting up in 10 years
