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?
