lyrics
We are romantic
Without thought or action
We’re destined to say
It’s your fate
We are estranged and empty I
Can’t seem to get you off my chest
You play me to pieces
And I contest
Yeah I contest
I’ll love you forever but such is life
I’ll miss you tomorrow and love you tonight
C’est la vie girl
C’est la vie girl
So introspective
Common sense receptive
It’s not in your nature
And we’re the same yeah
We are laying by the seaside
Clear as the waves come to meet our skin
This is where you call the bet
and where it all begins
Like someone I tried
To ride the waves all my life
Take my pieces in stride
And cross the ocean, let them go
Without thought or action
We’re destined to say
It’s your fate
We are estranged and empty I
Can’t seem to get you off my chest
You play me to pieces
And I contest
Yeah I contest
I’ll love you forever but such is life
I’ll miss you tomorrow and love you tonight
C’est la vie girl
C’est la vie girl
So introspective
Common sense receptive
It’s not in your nature
And we’re the same yeah
We are laying by the seaside
Clear as the waves come to meet our skin
This is where you call the bet
and where it all begins
Like someone I tried
To ride the waves all my life
Take my pieces in stride
And cross the ocean, let them go
