  • Counting all different ideas drifting away
    Past and present they don't matter
    Now the future's sorted out
    Watch her moving in elliptical patterns
    Think it's not what you say
    What you say is way too complicated
    For a minute though I couldn't tell how to fall out

    It's twenty seconds till the last call
    You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey
    Lie down you know it's easy
    Like we did it over summer long

    And I'll be anything you ask and more
    You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
    It's not a miracle we needed
    No I wouldn't let you think so

    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

    Girlfriend, oh your girlfriend is drifting away
    Past and present 1855-1901
    Watch them built up a material tower
    Think it's not gonna stay anyway
    I think it's overrated
    For a minute though I couldn't tell how to fall out

    It's twenty seconds till the last call
    You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey
    Lie down you know it's easy
    Like we did it over summer long

    And I'll be anything you ask and more
    You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
    It's not a miracle we needed
    No I wouldn't let you think so

    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
    Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it Writer/s: Christian Mazzalai, Frederic Moulin, Laurent Mazzalai, Thomas Croquet
