Ton Visage Lyrics in English Fréro Delavega

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ton Visage by Fréro Delavega from French to English.
When a squall rises in town, a tense, restless wind
May dreams last forever in my reality
I want walks on the shore, a little humanity
There's less concrete, more of a break, a quality life
Less concrete, more dreams in my reality
What if I had a lifeline, far from the metro, from its racket
Eyes fixed on the shore, forgetting your distant face
What if I had a lifeline, far from the metro, from its racket
Eyes fixed on the shore, forgetting your distant face
I want tears that don't cut, and less sorrow, plain and simple
A simple happiness, but to my liking, it's a bit cliché, but it's everything
I want more swell in my seafoam, and less crowd on my pavement
These little things that only make clear sense once you lose them
These little things that only make clear sense once you lose them
What if I had a lifeline, far from the metro, from its racket
Eyes fixed on the shore, forgetting your distant face
What if I had a lifeline, far from the metro, from its racket
Eyes fixed on the shore, forgetting your distant face
What if I had then? A lifeline
To ride out my melancholy
Beautiful ocean, breaker of shores
To dry the salt from my tears
What if I had a lifeline, far from the metro, from its racket
Eyes fixed on the shore, forgetting your distant face
What if I had a lifeline, far from the metro, from its racket
Eyes fixed on the shore, forgetting your distant face
What if I had a lifeline, far from the metro, from its racket
Eyes fixed on the shore, forgetting your distant face
