À zéro [English translation]

We fell asleep at the wheel

on the highway of your love.

I barely woke up in time

to avoid the crash.

Driving non stop at full speed,

drawn by the horizon,

we end up forgetting

we exceeded the speed limit.

Burdened by too many habits,

our love is losing height.

Gravity's to blame

for ruling over our fears and our hearts.

The endless stream of "I love you"s

like a mass production.

The corrosive loving words

sound like a countdown.

(chorus : )

To go away

leaving everything behind

and restart from scratch.

To go away

leaving everything behind

vanish

and remember at last. (x2)1

A straight line will always be

the shortest path,

in life as in love.

Me, I prefer detours

over these always broken lines

we inherited from life.

(chorus)

We fell asleep at the wheel
