I went to where we bought that awful card The man he looked the same just a bit more scarred Interesting what time does to a face I never did find out why you couldn't stay I wonder if you're happy where you are It's been a while but tell that to my heart To see the world with lights on for a change I never did find out why you couldn't stay IN PARIS, IN PARIS To see the world with lights on for a change I never did find out why you couldn't stay IN PARIS Remember how we woke up to the rain And how the walls were covered in cigarette stains The circles on my back that you drew Fingers on my skin in a room The neighbours that were fighting in the hall And how we had to whisper when we talked Again I close my eyes to think of you Fingers on my skin in a room IN PARIS, IN PARIS To see the world with lights on for a change I never did find out why you couldn't stay IN PARIS To see the world with lights on for a change I never did find out why you couldn't stay IN PARIS, IN PARIS To see the world with lights on for a change I never did find out why you couldn't stay IN PARIS
