montreal

Was it weird just to end the call
With 'I might move to Montreal'
Pack a story of somebody else
Someone who isn't like me at all
Would you think just to hold my hand
Yeah I know that's not part of the plan
It's just a way to recognize this place
And for you to say that you know who I am

What does anybody wanna be
What does everybody wanna see now
Who does anybody wanna be
What does everybody wanna see now

I might not be so terrified
'Cause what use is not closing my eyes
When the view from my window's now
That old house torn down for a new highrise
And what about the oak tree left next to it
Do you think it gives a shit at all, I don't know
It'll breathe and be a little confused
But that's exactly how I am before my daily fix

Of a bittersweetened affirmation
Said god knows where in union station
Still playing games of imitation
For what, for what
For a hesitant first invitation
To some party planned for graduation
Just to hear the same three conversations
For what, for what

What does anybody wanna be
What does everybody wanna see now
Who does anybody wanna be
What does everybody wanna see now

Will I be less inclined to lie
In a city I've been to twice, I know
It's too early to be sending gifts
But before I'd leave could you just get me a hit

Of a bittersweetened affirmation
Said god knows where in central station
Still playing games of imitation
For what, for what
For a hesitant first invitation
To some party planned for graduation
Just to hear the same three conversations
For what, for what

Et c'est tout mon choix, n'est-ce pas mon ami
Tu l'as dit cent fois dans un rêve, juste vas-y
Quand le jour viendra je le comprendrai
Mais pourquoi, pourquoi
