At least I avoided cliche Holding nobody's hand along the Champs-Élysées Taking my time Breaking bread, sipping wine Meat 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 for 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?
