Everything I Cannot See by Charlotte Gainsbourg


I feel you all around me



you are everything i cannot see

as the ocean crawls onto the shoreline so you lap at the edges of me

and now, as i'm walking i know that you're watching me move
for as much as i need you i must walk away from you

you're my life, you're my hope, you're the chain, you're the rope
you're my god, you're my hell, you're the sky, you're myself
you're the reason i'm living, you're all that i have to discover

you're the rain, you're the stars, you're so near, you're so far
you're my friend, you're my foe, you're the miles left to go
you are everything i ever wanted and you are my lover

so i carry, i carry the flowers, the flowers that are dead in my hands
they will rise up at the very sight of you

they will naturally understand that today is the day
that we find out once and for all

now you know i must leave here, you must let me stand or fall

you're my life, you're my hope, you're the chain, you're the rope
you're my god, you're my hell, you're the sky, you're myself
you're the reason i'm living, you're all that i have to discover

you're the rain, you're the stars, you're so near, you're so far
you're my friend, you're my foe, you're the miles left to go
you are everything i ever wanted and you are my lover

if i leave will you follow can i put my faith in you

you're my life, you're my hope, you're the chain, you're the rope
you're my god, you're my hell, you're the sky, you're myself
you're the reason i'm living, you're all that i have to discover

you're the rain, you're the stars, you're so near, you're so far
you're my friend, you're my foe, you're the miles left to go
you are everything i ever wanted and you are my lover

and i love you now as i loved you then
but this island life just had to end
but you will allways be my special friend
i will carry you with me and we can love again

now the drizzle soaks us to the skin
and the stars hang like a noose

so let's face this together now this storm is finally through

you're my life, you're my hope, you're the chain, you're the rope
you're my god, you're my hell, you're the sky, you're myself
you're the reason i'm living, you're all that i have to discover

you're the rain, you're the stars, you're so near, you're so far
you're my friend, you're my foe, you're the miles left to go
you are everything i ever wanted and you are my lover
