lyrics

I imagine singing this line to you on your birthday.
You, surrounded, by friends, embarrassed, nowhere to escape; your face, a limp smile, a mask for an infinite pride (for) this strange present, past.

At the fever’s pitch, you weren’t yourself. You were becoming someone else: a smileless sag, a tired drag. Don’t grow up so fast, don't forget to keep them with you: all those little signs that you’re all mine. Now, a heavy sigh, made-up cheeks over my dark eyes, a squeal and a cry: all those little signs that you’re all mine.

Ooh ooh ooh. (Cassandre: Baba! Eléa: This is … I was going to ??? Julie: C’est vrai? Eléa: I will show you! … I’m showing you!”)

Now a toothless grin, red cheeks, wet moist eyes, a squeal, a cry: all those little signs that you're all mine. At the fever's pitch, you weren’t yourself. You were becoming someone else: a smileless sag, a tired drag. Don’t grow up so fast. Don’t forget about us, or all those little signs that you’re all mine.

I imagine singing this line to you, on your birthday, over cut cake.
Glassy eyes, glossy cheeks, gauzy cuts, with just a little fuss, with just a little trust,
I imagine singing this line to you on your birthday, on your birthday.

Ooh ooh ooh: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 (and one more for good luck).
