I got the cd in Montréal yesterday.
Erase is an amazing song, very sweet and sad, with a lot of piano.
I think Mika sings quite differently on this song, there is less joy in his voice than usual. It is perfect for the lyrics and the mood of the song.
All in all, a powerful song, and one of my favorite!
Here are the lyrics:
I shouldn't have called so late last night
Uninsecure, out of my mind
I shouldn't have left that message on your phone
I shouldn't have said the things I said
Looking for love we left for dead
In a grave without a stone
As soon as you hear my voice
Don't hesitate
Put your finger on the button
(Chorus)
Erase, my love
I bet you can erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face
In your head
Everything's cool, your rent is paid
The house is clean, your bed is made
but it's a ghost down in your mind
We never had time to go to speak
We'd wake up tangled in the sheets
On a bed that we can't hold
When the pain won't go away
You might as well put your finger on the trigger
(Chorus)
Erase, my love
I bet you can erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face
In your head
Erase
Erase
Erase
You're trying to replace
A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face
In your head
Erase
Sorry if some of the words don't make sense, french is my first language! But I think I got most of the lyrics right!
And yes, we do have "Over my shoulder" after "Happy Ending"!
