Lyrics

Comme toujours  - [as ever - toujours is also “always” but RH says “as ever” later in the song]
Here I am
Avec rien - [with nothing]
In my hand

Comme toujours
Je t’en prie - [I’ll take it from you - it sounds the same as “je t’en pris” which means you’re welcome but “prie" makes more sense in context]
You know so much more than me
Comme toujours

Comme toujours
Nous voila - [here we are]
Sitting in your orange car

It’s just another possibility
It’s just another waste of time

Comme toujours
Tes bisous - [your kisses]
Leave me more remote from you
Il y a beaucoup des mirages - [there are so many mirages]
Parmis les orages - [among the storms]

It’s just another possibility
it’s just another waste of time

Comme toujours
J’étais fou - [I was crazy]
Thinking I could live with you
Tu es folle - [you’re crazy]
Comme toujours
See this broken heart it’s yours
Comme toujours

Comme toujours as ever
I’m not trying to be clever
But I’ll think of you forever
Comme toujours

Comme toujours
Comme toujours
Toujours
