À l'envers [English translation]

We can't rewrite history but we can idealise it

Let's say we just split up before we get damaged too much

There's no fresh start when we're almost there

And no, yet still there are evenings that I wake up

From one last night that would be the first

Erasing you from my memory to start over

From a forward step, from a backward step

Losing you like hope and then meeting you again

And if we turn the page, the book the other way round

Erasing our journey means redoing it

Just a slip up in our universe

We may finally have the chance to do it all again

The other way round, the other way round

Tell yourself that we're resurfacing to avoid diving deeper

And that we're replacing battles with a prolonged pain

It's better, like a wiper would be on the windshield of the past

If the memories bore us, we can overcome them

Far from the winters that tested us

For a season of love to always be starting over again

To no longer know how is to ignore

An eternal first day to live by your side

And if we turn the page, the book the other way round

Erasing our journey means redoing it

Just a slip up in our universe

We may finally have the chance to do it all again

The other way round, the other way round

It's the spotless quarter of you

And yet I believe, I believe

That we must have loved each other in another city

Fill all my voids in another life

A feeling of déjà vu, that we've already lived perhaps

Or just seeing what we already had come alive again

And if we turn the page, the book the other way round

Erasing our journey means redoing it

Just a slip up in our universe

We may finally have the chance to do it all again

The other way round, the other way round
