They Started talking in a foreign school exchange that happened a few years ago
Then they both stopped talking the moment he boarded the Eurostar back home
Then a year later they started talking again 'bout the dividing of his country
Found some common ground between them with their political beliefs
Her eyes were blinking as he commented on her sexy accent
As the conversation moved quickly from politics to relationships
and how they couldn't get into them
He couldn't believe she had the same problem that he did
And the solution could end up involving him
And the girl he met in Lyon
So then they kept in contact despite the channel and the sevenhundred miles of road between them
Not quite realising what they got themselves into
Winter came and the snow fell down but they were still talking through Skype
Little did the guy know that Christmas he'd regret that he wrote this song
And wishing he was with her
Her cheeks went red as he commented on her sexy accent
As the conversation moved quickly from politics to relationships
and how they couldn't get into them
He couldn't believe she had the same problem that he did
And the solution could end up involving him
And the girl he met in Lyon
Meanwhile people laugh at this quite jovial ring
'Cause the lyrics were caused by a mistake
My advice to you is do not write a song 'bout a girl that you like
'Cause unless it hits the charts it won't go down well
I should have have known that when I sent that wink emoji to that girl in France
Following sending her this song before I gave it a necessary reword
I only meant to write a song which made a point for globalisation
She misread it and instead she thought
I thought she's la fille de ma rêves
Her eyes were blinking as he commented on her sexy accent
As the conversation moved quickly from politics to relationships
and how they couldn't get into them
He should've known though she had the same problem that he did
the solution wouldn't end up involving him
