The Last Time I Was Happy Songtext
von Le Reste

"Nous sommes allés voir la mer
Pour y déverser nos larmes
Embuer nos fenêtres
Notre amour en entier
À l′infini des steppes
Enlacés/oubliés"
I found these words from you, buried on your phone
You never showed them to me, but I know where they came from
I remember the shore, our walks with no purpose
All hope had gone away, leaving us broken with just love
We had to discuss a future that would forever exclude you
As we pushed a stroller filled with someone who wouldn't remember you
No end to the pain
A thousand things we did for the very last time
And we couldn′t win
A love bigger than the stars
But all useless in the end
It was perhaps by the sea
The sun was setting quietly
We watched our son eating sand then we took a selfie


Was it the last time I was happy?
In the black forest, a big cabin
Saw an ocean of clouds from uphill
We ate some strange food we bought
Watched foreign TV
Was it the last time I was happy?
Or should I rewind way before
When sickness didn't roam in your bones
Those lazy tiring days
Life seemed to stretch endlessly
Was it the last time I was happy?
Was it the last time I was happy?
Was it the last time I was happy?
There are no more words from you
I'm roaming through your notebooks
Searching for anything that′s feeling alive, or that least new
You felt so limitless
An entire universe
But now that you are gone
It′s only fragments we have left
And they'll never be the whole you
I′m trying hard not to forget
But you know me, I'm scatterbrained
The whole story blurs in my head
And feelings freeze in abstract shapes
And moments lose their vivid shades
And sights dissolve in polaroids
Our life just drifts into the void
No end to the pain
A thousand things we did for the very last time
And we couldn′t win
A love bigger than the stars
But it's useless in the end
Maybe it was the day you died
We cried so much, you were so tired
But there was still a faint smile and a light in your eyes
As you fought against the endless night
We sewed together and I kept saying
How much you meant the world to me
It was hell, yeah, but still, you were here and you breathed
It was the last time I was happy
It was the last time I was happy
It was the last time I was happy
It was the last time I was happy
It was the last time I was happy
It was the last time I was happy
It was the last time I was happy
It was the last time I was happy
"Les mesures restent les mêmes
Si possible, si possible
Il est temps de s′extirper
De s'éloigner
De tout recommencer
De se rejoindre dans l'étreinte glacée du soleil
Si possible"
