I sang my sorrows on the project bench
I dreamed of Paris and making it my job
And when summer came, I crossed the sea
You gotta know where you come from, my son, like my dad used to say
I sang in my room, I'd shut the door
I screamed my demons, let the devil take them away
And when summer came, I crossed the sea
What's it like at your place, brother?
Not so different, brother
I love you even if it doesn't look like it
But it's better when you're here
Way better when you're here
What's it like at your place, brother?
Not so different, brother
I love you even if it doesn't look like it
But it's better when you're here
Way better when you're here
The scary boulevards, the cobblestones of Clichy
The little carpenter with his friends
And what if it was over there that I'd scream my demons
That we'd meet again, just the two of us, acting like fools
It was the last chance, one last meeting
Dreams are exhausting but I held on
And what if it was over there they'd hear my sorrows
And what if that's how life is more beautiful
What's it like at your place, brother?
Not so different, brother
I love you even if it doesn't look like it
But it's better when you're here
Way better when you're here
What's it like at your place, brother?
Not so different, brother
I love you even if it doesn't look like it
But it's better when you're here
Way better when you're here
Everything separated us, they'll say it's not true
But I love you anyway
Everything separated us, they'll say it's not true
What's it like at your place, brother?
Not so different, brother
I love you even if it doesn't look like it
But it's better when you're here
Way better when you're here
What's it like at your place, brother?
Not so different, brother
I love you even if it doesn't look like it
But it's better when you're here
Way better when you're here
