[Verse 1] We used to stay up way too late Talking records, films and mistakes Same cold streets, same corner bar Same cheap wine inside your car Now you close your eyes somewhere else Every time those old songs melt From that little village folk band slow Like they touch a place I don’t know [Pre-Chorus] Nobody changed overnight Still somehow we lost the light [Chorus] Less than yesterday That’s what we became Still here in the same room But nothing feels the same That little village folk band playing soft and low You get goosebumps, I just watch you glow No big goodbye, no slammed door Just less “us” than before (French echo softly behind) “Moins qu’hier…” [Verse 2] You still reach for me sometimes Still laugh at half my stupid lines Still know how I drink my wine Still read my face before I lie But lately when you speak about What really moves your heart now I hear a world inside your voice That no longer sounds like mine [Pre-Chorus] No disaster, nothing broke Just quieter words between the smoke [Chorus] Less than yesterday Something slipped away Still lying side by side But further every day That little village folk band playing soft and low Accordion breathing through your soul You get goosebumps, I fake a smile Trying hard to close the miles (French echo softly behind) “Moins de nous…” [Bridge] Maybe love don’t disappear Maybe people slowly steer Toward different kinds of peace Different dreams, different needs Maybe nothing really ends Maybe silence just extends Till two people wake one day And realize they slowly changed [Final Chorus] Less than yesterday That’s what hurts to say No big ending scene Just fading day by day That little village folk band late at night Old love songs beneath soft lights You close your eyes and softly sway Like part of you already left Yesterday felt warm and known Now I sit beside alone No big goodbye, nothing torn Just less together than before (French echo softly behind) “Moins ensemble… qu’avant…”
