I was talking about love
As we talk about the weather
Without having seen it in the day
Without really knowing it
I thought about it as we dream
I dreamed about it without believing in it
Between these hearts on strike
And these "just to see" stories
I wasn't expecting you
I wasn't expecting that
I wasn't expecting myself
In this role
I wasn't expecting to read
Anything other than my book
I wasn't expecting to live
Above my lines
In this crowd of lonely people
All these lives that brush against each other
All these bodies that take flight
These sorrows without shoulders
We breathe the open air
The air of time, the air of nothing
We all want to take off
No one knows the way
I wasn't expecting you
I wasn't expecting that
I wasn't expecting myself
In this role
I wasn't expecting to read
Anything other than my book
I wasn't expecting to live
Above my lines
And then I saw your face
A clown with shining eyes
Your sorrows in the parties
And your blushing laughter
So strong to be fragile
Your fears after the night
The princesses I read about
Were less whimsical
I wasn't expecting you
I wasn't expecting that
I wasn't expecting myself
In this role
I was running without a lantern
Towards a dawn that is fleeing
In the places where we love
It is never night
I wasn't expecting you
I wasn't expecting myself
In this role
And the road was beautiful
From my dreams to my life
Crunchy with lace
New curtains, new bed
I asked 1000 questions
To my heart, to my head
I planted the old boy
In the middle of his maybes
All these days no longer the same
All these perfect mornings
Where your eyes wake me up
In a laugh, a secret
I wasn't expecting that
