Yes.
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday.

with nothing to lose, it's hard to choose it's hard to tell.
Skin is dewdrop and warm;
the lipstick kiss, reminisce, awake 'til dawn.

She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Yes. (Ooh-ooh)
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Et c'est alors que supposement blesse par le commun des mortels,
Je resurrecte encore et encore.
Je resurrecte encore et encore.
