I have returned to the city that saw me born
I have returned and now nothing is the same
I remember it very well
And yet I am just another foreigner
Because you, because you are no longer here
No one needs to tell me, I can feel it in the city
The leaves in our park no longer wait for autumn
It's full of signs prohibiting everything
When you were here, it wasn't like this, at least I never saw it
Our spirit was free, it didn't believe in the impossible
No matter how many streets I walk, I get nowhere
I discovered while wandering
That having a destination is more of a reason than the where and when
How could I take so long to realize something so clear

Only where you are, is my home
And the light of your gaze is my postal code
Only where you are, is my home
Only where you are

It seems like it was yesterday, the day I left
And more than twenty years have already passed
But I still remember well the smell of your skin and the honey of your lips
But you, but you are no longer here
And I've heard people in the neighborhood say they don't think you'll come back

They say you keep painting, from memory that portrait
That you made of us as children with a six and a four
And later in university, you asked me to pose again
You put pearl earrings on me and your shoes
We couldn't stop laughing and I was dying of embarrassment
Although I know I would have done anything for you no matter how
Crazy and absurd it seemed because it was in that
Instant, in that moment that I realized

Only where you are, is my home
And the light of your gaze is my postal code
Only where you are, is my home
Only where you are

And everything ended before it began
Because you can't cover the sun with a finger
Maybe in another life, you can love me
Because in this one, I know you came just to fly

Only where you are, is my home
And the light of your gaze is my postal code
Only where you are, is my home
Only where you are
