The lights are flashing
The shattered rain
The colors pass, so nuanced
And outside, time has frozen
Everything has stopped

The torrid kiss
Always better in pairs
Quick hello and almost a goodbye
And outside, time has frozen
Everything has stopped

Not my place
Everywhere I go, I pass without staying
I get tired
I resume my journey like a passenger

And I love you in passing
I cause pain in passing
I am myself in passing
Like a passenger
Like a passing lion
Vagabond, in passing
Without reason, in passing
Like a passenger

But life goes by
Like a rushing train
My heart gets annoyed
For not finding itself
And outside, time has boasted
Of having overtaken me

Not my place
Everywhere I go, I pass without staying
I get tired
I resume my journey like a passenger

And I love you in passing
I cause pain in passing
I am myself in passing
Like a passenger
Like a passing lion
Vagabond, in passing
Without reason, in passing
Like a passenger

I speak French in passing
An Englishman in passing
Immigrant in passing
Like a passenger
And I cry in passing
Because I'm scared in passing
That my life, in passing
Might overtake me
