Lyrics
Ex-lover, where you staying?
Asking the ex-lover about their current location or situation.
Every time that I come back again
Expressing a recurring return and reflection on the past.
I know you're just the same
Acknowledging the consistency or lack of change in the ex-lover.
And when you say, and when you say the wrong thing
Noting the ex-lover's tendency to say inappropriate things.
Oh, I know I hear the right thing
Recognizing the ex-lover's ability to eventually say the right things.
I know it's just the same
Reiterating the perceived sameness in the ex-lover's behavior.
Angel, my love, my first caress
Addressing the ex-lover as an angel and recalling the initial romantic encounter.
I come back and I find you never changed
Finding that the ex-lover has not changed over time.
Then I think of the years from your love I've been dispossessed
Reflecting on the years of feeling deprived of the ex-lover's love.
From your love, my first caress
Revisiting the memory of the first physical contact or affection.
All your friends have come and went
Observing the transient nature of the ex-lover's friendships.
Found a way to make a certain change
Noticing a successful effort to bring about a specific change.
Coconut milk, coconut water, aw ha
Mentioning coconut milk and water, possibly symbolizing confusion or mixed signals.
You still like to tell me they're the same
Acknowledging the ex-lover's tendency to equate dissimilar things.
Aw ha, and who am I to say?
Expressing uncertainty about challenging the ex-lover's perceptions.
Angel, my love, my first caress
Repeating the address to the ex-lover as an angel and recalling the first caress.
I come back and I find you never changed
Confirming the lack of change in the ex-lover upon return.
Then I think of the years from your love I've been dispossessed
Revisiting the sense of loss experienced over the years without the ex-lover's love.
Aw ha
Adding an exclamation, possibly indicating an emotional realization.
From your love, my first caress
Recalling the first caress and its significance in the context of love.
From your love
Reiterating the source of the speaker's feelings—love from the ex-lover.
Oh yes
Affirming the impact and importance of the ex-lover's love.
From your love
Repeating the acknowledgment of the first caress and its emotional significance.
My first caress
Emphasizing the enduring impact of the initial caress on the speaker.
