Jessica Fichot - Le Grenier

Et si on t'avait dit il n'y a pas si longtemps
Quand tu etais enfant ou du moins dans le coeur
Ce que tu deviendrais...
L'aurais tu cru alors et le vois tu maintenant
Comment tu as change, comme en si peu de temps
Tu es devenu grand?

Dans tes mirroirs, tes grandes fenetres
Tu te regardes sans jamais plus te reconnaitre
Vivant, souriant de chaque luxe que t'as achete
Au grand sacrifice de ton passe

Chorus:
Pris dans ta routine, ton comfort
Un jour t'es monte au grenier
Et tu l'as rempli a ras bord
Du garcon que t'etais
Et tes reves et tes souvenirs
Il reste oublie au grenier
Pourtant tu restes la les pieds leves
Sans jamais monte au grenier

Et pendant que tu t'amuses a compter les secondes
A etre responsable, a dominer ton monde
De choses materielles
Au grenier le garcon qui avait tant de couleurs
Commence a s'effacer en regrettant les heures
Ou il pouvait voir le ciel

Il ne survit que grace a hier
Au reves d'aventures pris de poussiere
En ignorant sa solitude par habitude
Sans que jamais tu regardes en arriere

If you had been told, not so long ago,
When you were a child, or at least in your heart,
What you would become...
Would you have believed it then, and do you see it now
How you've changed, how, in so little time,
You've grown up?

In your mirrors, your big windows
You look at youself without ever recognizing you
Alive, smiling out of every luxury you've bought
At the great sacrifice of your past

Chorus:
Caught in your routine, your confort
On day, you went up into the attic
And you filled it to the brim
With the boy you were
And your dreams and your memories
He remains forgotten in the attic
Yet, you stay there, doing nothing
Without ever going up into the attic

And while you're having counting up the seconds
Being responsible, mastering your world
Of material things
In the attic, the once so coloured boy
Starts fading, regretting the time
When he could see the sky

He only survives thanks to yesterday
To the dusty adventure dreams
Ignoring his loneliness out of habit
Without you ever looking back
