C’est la vie

There’s a couple things I forgot to say last night before you went to sleep
It started with I’m sorry and ended with I love you
But there’s something lost... in between

I have a picture of us smiling
Over a glass of wine in Bali
Or was it a cocktail in Hawaii
I can’t remember where, I’m sorry
Can you recall, when you were happy?

Cmon baby
Can’t put a finger on what keeps you coming back to me
Is it love, maybe
let our bodies put together what can not put in letter
Before we say, before we say…

C’est la vie, to us, to love
Our lofty dreams of visiting “Paris”
C’est la vie to words gone wrong
The promises of what we could not be
I hope you forget, what you cannot forgive
And you live in that blissfully
C’est la vie, to love gone lost
One last kiss would mean the world to me
C’est la vie

There’s a mystery, it seems to be
Shrouded in missed connection --
Fight or flight or train or apathy
Why we put a mirror in front of who we love
And treat them like the only thing
stopping us from who we need to see

I have a picture of us happy
And on a stage somewhere in Reno
And at the top of a volcano
Nicaragua, or Mendocino
While millions watched at home on their TV
Oh wait… that was just me

Cmon baby
Can’t put a finger on what keeps you coming back to me
Is it love, maybe
let our bodies put together what can not put in letter
Before we say, before we say…

C’est la vie, to us, to love
Our lofty dreams of visiting “Paris”
C’est la vie to words gone wrong
The promises of what we could not be
I hope you forget, what you cannot forgive
And you live in that blissfully
C’est la vie, to love gone lost
One last kiss would mean the world to me
C’est la vie
