Sunday morning, just past eight
Will I still see her today?
Black hair, sweet, a smile
Time crawls unbearably slow
Eyes like a movie I could watch for hours
I'll never get the lead 'cause she has everyone for that
Do you secretly think of me too?
And do you still taste me?
I still taste our past like you never went away
Sara
I always take you with me
Hold me tight, let me go, shove me off, pull me close
But don't leave me alone
Sara
In everything I do
I feel you so near, for a moment you're mine
Even though you're not free and I want to come to you
Sunday evening, just past eight
And he's near her
The clock tells me again and again
How long an evening like that lasts
The phone lies beside me
I pull some books from the shelf
The perfect chance to hear her but I wait
Do you secretly think of me too?
And do you still taste me?
I still taste our past like you never went away
Sara
I always take you with me
Hold me tight, let me go, shove me off, pull me close
But don't leave me alone
Sara
In everything I do
I feel you so near, for a moment you're mine
Even though you're not free and I want to come to you
Suddenly I hear you again and forget all my worries
Ooh
Freeze time now 'cause I really know what I want
Sara
I always take you with me
Hold me tight, let me go, shove me off, pull me close
But don't leave me alone
Sara
In everything I do
I feel you so near, for a moment you're mine
Even though you're not free and I want to come to you
I want to come to you
I'm coming to you

SONG MEANING

“Sara” is a heartfelt snapshot of one very long Sunday in the life of a lovelorn narrator. He wakes up just after eight, sees every tick of the clock stretch endlessly, and pictures Sara’s black hair, sweet smile, and movie-worthy eyes. Although they once shared something real (he can still “taste” their past), she now stars in a film where everyone gets a role except him.

By evening his yearning has only grown. He knows she is with another man, yet he keeps her close in his thoughts, begging, “Hold me, let me go, push me away, pull me in, but please don’t leave me alone.” The song captures that push-and-pull of memories and desire: jealousy battles hope, patience wrestles with impulse, and every moment is colored by the question, “Are you secretly thinking of me too?” In the end he can no longer sit still—he decides to run to her—turning this catchy Belgian pop tune into a vivid story about lingering love, restless longing, and the courage to chase what the heart refuses to forget.
