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
