What I love is strolling around Paris

Watching people, wondering what they did this morning, yesterday

Catching them off guard when I smile at them

People in Paris aren't used to getting smiled at

What I love is crashing in a little café early in the morning

I think it's cool to get up early to hardly do anything

I watch the regulars who talk loud and skim Le Parisien

The day's hardly started but I'm already taking a break

What I love is long drives

At night, alone

Rest-area coffee and sandwich

Phone on airplane mode like I'm going to the other side of the world

Even though every other time I'm just going to my mom's

What I love is driving at night

When the universe is silent

'Cause there's fewer people on the road

And fewer people in my head

At night you drive better, think better, write better

My thoughts are freer

And my ideas more honest

What I love is when

I see that I love myself a little

A little more than before

Thanks to the ones I love

What I love is when

I see that I love myself a little

A little more than before

Thanks to the ones I love

What I love is traveling

I can't stay put three days in the same place

I need to see the country, the scenery, new faces

Hoping they'll make me change my mind again

What I also love about traveling is coming home

But home isn't necessarily my flat, my comfort

It's more certain people, the ones missing on the horizon

Home is my pillars, my markers, my backup

What I love is when I'm sitting

Next to someone I love and we don't talk

We both know we don't need to see each other anyway

Since we love each other

That's love, right?

What I love is when I miss her

And I know I'm gonna see her again

See her again tonight or tomorrow morning when I wake up

Thinking about the second we'll hug or kiss

And telling myself that right now she might be thinking the same

What I love is when

I see that I love myself a little

A little more than before

Thanks to the ones I love

What I love is when

I see that I love myself a little

A little more than before

Thanks to the ones I love

What I love is knowing I've got nothing left to lose

That I almost croaked more than once

And that life is extra time

I've still got the world to conquer, a life to create

And the rest is for later

What I love is looking back at my path, my struggles

The ones I wish on nobody, the deep pains

Then thinking about the present and those moments full of light

All those joys, those emotions

The ones I wish on everybody

What I love is that moment, right there

The one you talk about, of touching the instant

When you write faster than thought

When nothing matters anymore

Not hunger, thirst, or fatigue

I think that's what I like best in the world

What I love is hearing a text for the first time

Discovering a line, an image, a shiver

Something that makes me smile because it speaks deep inside me

I've already felt that listening to your songs

What I love is when

I see that I love myself a little

A little more than before

Thanks to the ones I love

What I love is when

I see that I love myself a little

A little more than before

Thanks to the ones I love

Each scene feels ordinary at first glance, but the artist turns it into poetry that celebrates curiosity, travel, friendship, and romance.

At the core of the song is a gentle revelation: the more he enjoys these simple moments, the more he learns to appreciate himself—and it is all thanks to the people who orbit his life.
