AES - Acute Exam Syndrome

It's exam season, hence the acute and frequent hurling of blog posts. Other symptoms include the obsessive compulsion to clean, cravings for gummy candies and constant drowsiness.

This song, I found during one of my procrastination episodes (hallmark of the AES) and I love it (the French version more than the English).


Quelle heure est-il où tu es? (What time is it where you are)
Un autre avion et tu repars (Another plane and you'll leave again)
Je me sens si loin si tu savais (I feel so far away, if you only knew)
J'attends ton retour encore (I'm still waiting for you to come back)
C'est comme si on vivait à l'envers (It's like we're lliving the other way around)
J'aimerais te dire qu'on pourra si faire (I'd like to tell you we could live this way)
But trying to figure the time zone's makin' me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
Quand je m'endors tu te reveilles
(When I fall asleep, you wake up)
Et je compte les heures j'en perds le sommeil
(And I count the hours, it's making me lose my sleep)
and my heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
so jet lagged

Je te cherche quand tu n'es pas là (I search you when you're not there)
Dans une semaine je reviendrai (I'll be back in a week)
Je perds mon souffle quand tu t'en vas (I lose my breath when you go away)
Je m'imagine à tes côtés (I imagine you by my side)
Même si j'essaie de l'ignorer (Even when I try to ignore it)
Tu es toujours là dans mes pensées (You're always in my thoughts)
Trying to figure out the time zone's makin' me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
Quand je m'endors tu te reveilles (When I fall asleep, you wake up)
Et je compte les heures j'en perds le sommeil (And I count the hours, it's making me lose my sleep)
and my heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
So jet lagged

Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
je t'attends encore (I'm still waiting for you)
Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
Mais rentre il est tard (Come back, it's getting late)
Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
Et je veux vivre ton aurore (I want to live your sunrise)
Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
Et qu'on s'en sorte plus fort (And we'll get out of this stronger)
And turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me
