22 (Vingt Deux) [feat. Ours]
Hey Lily, raconte nous
When she was 22, the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking, "How did I get here?" and wondering why
It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
C'est vrai Lily, c'est vrai
Elle voit la vie en duo
Voit la suite du haut de ses épaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots
Des mots qui tombent à l'eau
Elle dit que sa vie se réduit à un petit étui
Elle a plus la pupille qui brille, qui scintille et qui pétille
Assis par terre et pas très fière de sa petite carrière
Loin de ce qu'elle rêvait d'hier, solitaire trentenaire
It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Elle voit la vie en duo
Voit la suite du haut de ses épaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots
Des mots qui tombent à l'eau
It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Elle voit la vie en duo
Voit la suite du haut de ses épaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots
Mais des mots qui tombent à l'eau
Merci Lily
