Down in the Seine Lyrics

Catch me I'm falling so fast and I can't seem to find
All the reasons I had when the purpose was mine
Now I stumble so fast rolling into the night
Kiss me quick before I land and am broken in two
Keep me on the right track, hold my dreams in tact too
I get lost in this place - I get lost, yes its true

Quand on n'a plus rien en soi - Quand on n'a plus de refuge
Quand on ne peut plus fuir - Quand on ne sais on courrir

Noir comme la nuit - Oui, noir comme mon ame
Noir comme les eaux - Dans lesquels je sombre


Help me I'm sinking so fast into waters unplanned
That I once held onto but have got out of hand
Now the things that I loved are the things I can't stand

Squeeze me slow before I come to that part of the ground
It's a million miles up and a million miles down
I get lost in between and I wait to be found

Quand on n'a plus rien en soi - Quand on n'a plus de refuge
Quand on ne peut plus fuir - Quand on ne sais ou courrir
Noir comme la nuit - Oui noir comme mon ame
Noir comme les eaux - Dans lesquels je sombre

And in the waters I sink and in the waters I drink
Until I rise to the top which in truth is not
It's the same as below, we'll have put on a show
To make you feel you're alright, to make you feel there's no fight
Catch me I'm falling so fast
Catch me I'm falling so fast

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
