The songs that we sing

by Charlotte Gainsbourg

Album: 5:55

I saw somebody who
reminded me of you
before you got afraid
i wish that you could've stayed that way

I saw a little girl
i stopped and smiled at her
she screamed and ran away
it happens to me more and more these days

{Refrain:}
and these songs that you sing
do they mean anything
to the people you're singing them to
people like you

I saw a photograph
a woman in a bath
of hundred dollar bills
if the cold doesn't kill her, money will

I read a magazine
that said by seventeen
your life was at an end
i'm dead and i'm perfectly content

{au Refrain, x2}
