On the Planet Earth

by Danielle Ate the Sandwich

In a note pad* in my living room                                                                                            *(bloc-notes)
There are words there that you wrote not to long ago
And if you leave me
And we don't exchange each other's things
I will keep them and pretend they were about me

​

In the closet
There are your clothes hanging there
In the cupboards
The food is how you left it
In the freezer
The frozen pizzas pine along* with me                                                                               *(se languir)
And so we wait for you to come home

​

In a factory
In a small mid western town
There are women
Manufactured by the hour
And they are sexy
And they know more about comic books* than me                                                         *(bandes dessinées)
And when you're gone I worry that they found you

​

 

If you don't come back to me this time
If you don't come back to me now, me now x2

​

 

Well there are over six billion people on the planet earth
I am one, you are another
Every second that we spend together brings us closer to where we will end up

​

In the toy aisle of some department store
I will wait there
Expecting you to show
And if you don't come
I will start a conversation with myself
And even when your gone you are well spoken*                                                               *(qui parle bien)

​

​

If you don't come back to me this time
If you don't come back to me now, me now x2
