[Intro] Life slips by like smoke in the dawn Je tends la main — déjà c’est loin Everyone’s laughing, but I feel none Le monde est chaud, mais moi j’ai froid [Verse 1] I walk through crowds like I’m made of glass Smiles pass through me, they never last A thousand voices, none are mine Et si je criais, qui entendrait ? My heart is quiet, but not by choice I scream inside with a silent voice Don’t want forever, just a spark Juste une lumière, dans tout ce noir [Chorus] I’m chasing the wind, it’s running fast Backwards through time, like nothing lasts I want to feel something — sharp, not safe Même si ça me blesse, je veux que ça vive I’m chasing the wind, but it won’t wait It laughs like fate — c’est trop tard, peut-être But I still run I still run [Verse 2] Days blur past like subway lights Each one different, each the same I try to love with an open chest Mais tout le monde a peur de ce qui est vrai They say “slow down,” but I’ve barely begun My feet are tired, but I still run I don’t need peace, I just need proof Que je suis vivante, malgré les doutes [Chorus] I’m chasing the wind, it’s pulling away Through alleys of night, through ruins of day I want to feel something — real, not numb Pas les demi-sourires, pas les “ça va” I’m chasing the wind, even if I fall Better that than nothing at all Let me feel once Just once [Bridge] Oh, show me pain, show me grace I’ll take them both if they leave a trace Pas de silence, pas de gris — donne-moi l’éclair, même s’il détruit I’d rather burn than never glow I’d rather break than never know [Final Chorus] I’m chasing the wind, it cuts like ice But even that would be worth the price I want to feel something, even the ache Même si ça tue, je suis prête à risquer I’m chasing the wind, and maybe I’ll lose But to stand still? C’est ça que je refuse. I just want to feel Je veux… ressentir enfin
