Story Behind the Song
This started as a mock-reggae song, until Bas added some jazz chords and the bridge. Then one day, Marijn started screaming on the coda, and Luc did the rest with his great choir vocals and guitar solo. The piano bit was Jaco's idea. The lyrics are, as always, about Marijn's ex-girlfriend(s).
Lyrics
Everybody's given up on you
Why am I always the last one
To see what's clearly said and done
But now it's late, too late, to cry
I bang my head against the wall
I won't be needing it at all
'Till the day you come back to me
It's the day I will never see
But I still believe my own prophecy
You're the only one for me
I used to think you were a queen
I was the castle and the king
I would have given anything
But maybe you weren't meant to rule
Well, that's your own problem from here
'Cause I refuse to hold you dear
Till the day you come back to me
It's the day I will never see
But I still believe my own prophecy
You're the only one for me
Jupiter and Saturn form a constellation tonight
I can tell the future but I can't get it right
So please let me know who I am
Please let me know where I stand
Please let me know where it's at
'Cause it's hurting me bad, oh so bad, oh so bad
'Till the day you come back to me
