[Verse 1]
Your eyes could see me
In all my beauty
And you'd like to know
If I got marks on my back
[Chorus 1]
On my back, on my back, on my back
I love you after the war
If it’s too much, if it's too much
I love you after the hell
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Verse 2]
Your eyes could see me
As the sweetest friend
And you could sit
There, on the edge of my bed
Or on my back
[Chorus 2]
On my back, on my back, on my back
I love you after the war
If it's too much, if it’s too much
I love you after the hell
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Verse 3]
Your eyes could see me
As a shield, as a shelter
I would have liked at night
To leave your grievеs with the night
Or to carry them
[Chorus 3]
On my back, on my back, on my back
I love you aftеr the war
If it's too much, if it's too much
I love you after the hell
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Outro : extract of Nelly Arcan speaking]
"Men consume femininity
Women consume femininity too
Where there's always the gaze, that, that, that finally commands us to always be very beautiful. And when we see ourselves in photo, we lose control on our image and it's as if I feel like we kinda live in a Big Brother world."
