    LYRICS
    At least I avoided cliche
    Holding nobody's hand along the Champs-Élysées
    Taking my time
    Breaking bread, sipping wine
    Meant for two
    It's a beautiful city for saps
    But turn out the lights, we're too clever for that
    And I know, I know we're not in love
    But we'd fool this old town
    With the view of us, thoughts from the tourist
    Alone
    We could fall for the streets of Paris
    But the Eiffel's a joke and the punchline is me
    And you know, you know it's not funny
    But we'd laugh till it was
    Just the two of us, thoughts from the tourist
    Alone
    And I know, I know that we tried
    To survive on a lie we couldn't endure
    So what's just one more
    Thought from the tourist, imagining the two of us
    Alone?

      " It's pretty, huh?" She said, a smile on her face.
      I hesitated, then said ; "not as pretty as you. "
      I do believe it was a very embarassing moment for both of us.

  • @kitbickers3791
    @kitbickers3791 Před 4 lety +389

    something beautiful i realized while listening to both versions of this song is that it seems as if dodie wrote her part based around the chords and not very melodically, while jon was experimenting with riffs and a lot more melody. so in a sense dodie's version is more "grounded" and "realistic" while jon's version is very dreamy. it sits beautifully with "love/non love". non love represents looking at the world through the eyes of someone who's recognizing that the love is fleeting and fading, while love represents the honeymoon phase. sort of. or idk maybe i'm just reading into it a lot. but i think it's beautiful how juxtaposed the two ideals are, even down to melody structure and lyrics.

      Eli Weiss I think you misread my comment, we PASSED the Eiffel Tower. We were at a tour, the leader was allowing us to explore the dense city surrounding the Eiffel Tower for like 20 minutes. After that, we went back to the Hotel because before we explore the city, we went to the Eifell Tower, hopes this removes any misunderstandings.

    hey. it's me. I don't know if you still listen to this song. I definitely do. Remember when I told you I'd take you to my hometown? I said it was the most beautiful city on the world, and seeing you there would make it more stunning than ever. Well, now that you aren't mine, I had to go by myself. I listened to this song as I watched the sunset through a car window. I miss you so much. I should've gotten over you a long long time ago. Somehow I'm still hoping you'll come back, and I can show you the places I grew up. I may walk around every day, and do other things, but in reality I'm still in my hometown, that would look so much better with you in it.

    Still watching this in 2020, I’ll never get tired of this song. So wish it was on Spotify. Especially nice as I just went to Paris this past year, had tried to get someone I deeply loved to go with me, but sadly couldn’t. Enjoyed Paris without their love, but enjoyed it all the same

    Back, back
    It's time to go back to you know where
    But was it fun
    In the sun where you were
    Stop, no
    No, you're not allowed to think that
    Unwire the good
    Don't imagine what could have been
    What a nice little holiday
    Just a memory, now
    You fool
    How dare you trust fate! She's not that kind
    You stepped off the edge
    But you didn't check where you'd fall
    And now look at what you've done
    Just a memory, now
    Shut it down
    Get it into your brain
    This will all just end in flames
    Where's that self control that you preach?
    And now look at what we've done
    Just a memory, now

Life used to be so different man.

We liked another once and I never got over her even after this long and I've still never met her quite yet. I talk to everyone about how she's doing amazing things or just about what a ray of sunshine she is....but I can't bring myself to ever confess those 3 words. She's French herself and just always talked about Europe with stars in her eyes
