lyrics

What if I had just a little bit more time
To chase down moments like this and make them mine
What if this night had never come to pass
How many nights like this have I got left

I leave in the morning for the country where I'm from
And leave behind a life I've grown to love
One for the road and one to let you know
How much I care but I have to let you go

Well I'm an optimist at heart
Cause when I leave I mean it
Cause life is art
À bientôt mon pote
À bientôt mon pote

I'm a knight at the crossroads
How far I've come how far I have to go
Now I'm back and everything's the same
I only live for two weeks anyway

I think of what I've lost and what I've gained
This life's a wash mixed with hope fear and pain
Three days before I gain another year
Three years ago I thought you'd still be here

Well I'm an optimist at heart
Cause when I leave I mean it
Cause life is art
À bientôt mon pote
À bientôt mon pote
