Songs That We Sing - Charlotte Gainsbourg

I saw somebody who 
reminded me of you 
before you got afraid 
I wish that you could've stayed that way 

I saw a little girl 
I stopped and smiled at her 
she screamed and ran away 
it happens to me more and more these days 
chorus 
and these songs that you sing 
do they mean anything 
to the people you're singing them to 
people like you 

I saw a photograph 
a woman in a bath 
of hundred dollar bills 
if the cold doesn't kill her, money will 

I read a magazine 
that said by seventeen 
your life was at an end 
I'm dead and I'm perfectly content 
chorus 
and these songs that I sing 
do they mean anything 
to the people I'm singing them to 
people like you 
chorus 
and these songs that we sing 
do they mean anything 
to the people we're singing them to 
tonight they do
