It Must Be You

It Must Be You  - Julien Destange

This is the first song I ever wrote, back in 2013.
(An answer to your nightmares.)

*+* LYRICS*+*

I've been dreaming about you tonight
We were siting side by side
I've been dreaming about you tonight
And the war was over

It was like we were friends again
After all this time apart
Of course your anger still remained a little
But that was a new start

It was good to see your warm sweet smile
After all the distance
Shy, we talked like back in time for a while
Then laughed and sang together

I've been dreaming about you,
But now the dream is over
And my dream about you might
Never ever happen

I know you think I was just a fool
That it was all just a trap
To steal the young sun inside you
That I was oh just a crap
Wishing hard I would burn with fuel
Hands tied, screaming in pain and crying
You'd kill to see me drowned in a pool
With a bullet between the eyes 

With a bullet between the eyes.

You never let me tell you the truth
How much I apologize
And it tortures me like a rusty tool
To think you hate me and that
You want to see me drowned in a pool
In a concrete coffin for my lies
Burning like hell all drenched in fuel
And put a bullet between my eyes

I know that's what you'd like

Put a bullet between my eyes
Here's all that left from you and I
A bullet between my eyes

Look what I've done to you and I...

Dreaming About You

Written in December 2015
Recorded by Alex Haïkine


*LYRICS*

Everything now is suddenly quite clear
How things’ve changed over the years
Nothing I can say, nothing I can do
Will move you.

Everything now will slowly disappear
Ghost's memories for who you’ll shed no tear
Not a single day, not even a few
Will you feel blue

Say something
Hold my hand
Please pretend
It’s not the end

Ghost's Memories

*+*LYRICS*+*

As we laid down by the river
I felt my hand start to shiver 
On yours

We let our souls talk for hours
Let them pass like they’re not ours
At all

As the Sun was crossing down the sky
We did wander “Do they swin or fly,
The Clouds ?”

	There is no answer

As we laid down by the river
I felt your hand start to shiver 
In mine

We let our lives sleep for hours
Let them float by down the waters
Around

Tell me how life’s not a Joker
When we meet then must part for ever
Why ? …

		There is no answer (x2)

As We Laid Down By The River (Live Loop)

If I needed you
Don't you think it would show?
My arms would be wide open
And I'd be standing in the snow
For you

If I needed you
I would let you know
My soul would be so broken
It'be the Earth and me below

A hollow, A scar, on my heart
That wouldn't want to go
And just grow

If I needed you      
Like I did before
I'd beg you to come over
And start again, once more

Cause If I needed you
I wouldn't bare the sore
The Nights and days would follow
Without changing that one thought

That when I needed you
You said you'd come, you swore
And words are easily spoken
But like your heart they are just

Hollow, and dry, and so cold
But still I don't want to go
Although I should have many years ago

See, If I needed you
I would write a song
And try to convince myself
That I can move along

That I'm not needing you
That I can move along
That I'm not needing you
That I can move along

No matter how long, and harsh, things are
I will let you go, for sure
Today
Or maybe, let's say, tomorrow
