Do the walls remember us?
Sometimes I go to the address of our great love
I walk past and hope to see you through the window
Trusting, a smile at the corner of your lips
I see that there's light
Others will spend their winter nights there
Will make love under these windows
Others will live long nights of parties
Will wage war or maybe they'll love each other forever?
Others like us will do the same
14 boulevard Saint Michel
Do the neighbors remember us?
I go back to our old address to settle things
The entry code isn't the same anymore
The caretaker's retired
So I watch if the windows still let the daylight through
I can barely see any light
Others like us cry with grief under a streetlamp
Will make love under these windows
Others will live long nights of parties
Will wage war or maybe they'll love each other forever?
Others like us will do the same
14 boulevard Saint Michel
We had nothing, we were everything
We had nothing but we were everything
Like others before us
Made love under these windows
Others like us lived long nights of parties
Fought wars, yeah but maybe they'll love each other forever?
Life was so much more beautiful
