No Capo Intro: Verse: A sky blue limo rolls past me on the street outside   And I saw your face like some sort of neon dream    And of all the cars and the bars and the stars on Sunset Boulevard I saw you and you couldn’t tell me what that means Or what I’d seen Pre-chorus: Oh but when it hit me It was not the same thing I had missed it all like tears in the rain Finally I was seeing Everything so clearly Took what I’d been thinking And washed it away   Chorus: I didn’t see it coming          I didn’t see it coming          I didn’t see it coming coming coming coming coming coming coming I didn’t see it coming          Verse: Well the streetlights flickered and the hot air sighed The conversation it stopped on a dime A cruise missile flying into this little Land of these naive dreams of mine And I was told don’t speak with your mouth open But I couldn’t help it cause you had chosen As I watched that sky blue limo drive away drive away Pre-chorus: Oh but when it hit me It was not the same thing I had missed it all like tears in the rain Finally I was seeing Everything so clearly Took what I’d been thinking And washed it away   Chorus: I didn’t see it coming          I didn’t see it coming          I didn’t see it coming coming coming coming coming coming coming I didn’t see it coming          Bridge: A little skin A little money A little taste A little honey A little white lie But if you love it Tell me who am I to judge? A little skin A little money A little taste A little honey A little white lie But if you love it Tell me who am I to judge? A little skin A little money A little taste A little honey A little white lie But if you love it Tell me who am I to judge? Chorus: I didn’t see it coming          I didn’t see it coming          I didn’t see it coming coming coming coming coming coming coming I didn’t see it coming          I didn’t see it coming          Outro: (fading out)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un moment de révélation inattendue, où l'on réalise que des choses essentielles nous échappaient. L'interlocuteur se souvient d'une rencontre marquante sur Sunset Boulevard, entouré de la beauté flamboyante de Los Angeles. Alors qu'il observe ce rêve éphémère et la décadence des illusions, il prend conscience que tout cela n'est pas comme il l’avait imaginé. Les souvenirs et les émotions d’un passé troublé l’entourent, alors qu'il se confronte à la réalité, éprouvant une sorte de mélancolie face à ce qu'il n’a pas vu venir. Le texte traduit également une lutte intérieure, avec des questions sur le jugement et la façon dont on comprend les désirs et les choix des autres. L'artiste joue avec des éléments de légèreté et de profondeur, montrant que les petites vérités peuvent parfois mener à de grandes réflexions.
