Joyau

23 mars 2005

Le vilain cafard n'a pas cédé hier soir. Jewel, à fond les ballons dans mon auto-radio, s'est insinuée sous ma peau, vibrant sur mes nerfs, déjà à vif. Je me suis réapproprié ses mots, ils ont rebondi dans ma tête, titillé ma peine. Jouer avec son chagrin, en moduler l'intensité, c'est le maîtriser un peu. J'offre ma préférée à Ian, comme en écho à son blues d'hier.

I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off of the mirror
Don't leave my keys in the door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last so long
Long after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was all bad news
More hearts being broken, more people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last so long
Long after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken everyday.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.
Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last so long
Long after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Yeah.... You were meant for me and I was meant for you.
