[Verse 1]
F: First thaw
First light
Cherry trees waking in the park
You traced small maps on my wrist
Said
“Let’s stay here
Never part”
M: Croissants
Crosswalks
Laughing at my broken French
Rain on the café awning
Your hair tangled
Rain-drenched
[Pre-Chorus]
F: Seasons turn
But that one lingers
M: Stained on skin
On heart
On fingers
Both: Every blossom whispers still
“What happened to that Paris thrill?”
[Chorus]
Both: Last spring in Paris
We were golden
Petals on the pavement
Hearts wide open
Dancing through the alleys in a storm
How did that bright spring bend and warp?
Last spring in Paris
Hands together
Promising a foolish kind of forever
Now I watch the seasons move along
Asking the same quiet song
What happened?
Where did we go wrong?
[Verse 2]
M: Autumn came early
In your tired
Distant eyes
You packed sweaters into boxes
Didn’t fight
Didn’t cry
F: Winter in my bedroom
Snow stacking on the sill
Your mug still in the cupboard
But the air stayed still
[Pre-Chorus]
M: Did we fade or did we fracture?
F: Lose the plot or lose the actors?
Both: Every postcard
Every plane
Pulls me back into that rain
[Chorus]
Both: Last spring in Paris
We were golden
Petals on the pavement
Hearts wide open
Dancing through the alleys in a storm
How did that bright spring bend and warp?
Last spring in Paris
Hands together
Promising a foolish kind of forever
Now I watch the seasons move along
Asking the same quiet song
What happened?
Where did we go wrong?
[Bridge]
F: Was it one sharp word too many?
M: Was it silence growing heavy?
F: Was it me just standing still?
M: Was it you needing the thrill?
Both: If I could step back in that shower
Smell the bread
Taste the hour
Would I hold you harder
Hold you strong?
Or let you go before it all went wrong?
[Chorus]
Both: Last spring in Paris
We were golden
Petals on the pavement
Hearts wide open
Dancing through the alleys in a storm
How did that bright spring bend and warp?
Last spring in Paris
Hands together
Promising a foolish kind of forever
Now the seasons carry me along
But I still hum that fragile song
What happened?
Where did we go wrong?
(Where did we go?)
(Where did we go wrong?)
