Reviens
Fréro Delavega Lyrics

The song "Reviens" by Fréro Delavega tells a story of a relationship that has ended but with a desire to have the person back. The lyrics reveal that the singer (Fréro Delavega) had grown tired and frustrated of his partner's presence and was secretly seeking a way out of the relationship. The partner, however, may have picked up on this and made advances to try and keep the relationship alive. The singer realizes that he had been ignoring the partner's efforts and all along had been overlooking the value the relationship brought to his life. He becomes regretful and apologetic for not seeing the good thing they had before it was too late.

The chorus highlights the singer's realization of how much he had taken their relationship for granted by directly referring to the partner's advances, "Tu me souris pleine d'envie" ("You smile at me full of desire") and the feeling of being in love, "J'ai cru 100 fois toucher du doigt ce sentiment d'être amoureux" ("I thought 100 times I was touching the feeling of being in love").

The final lines of "Reviens" confirms Fréro Delavega's regret and acknowledgment that he was in the wrong by stating "Je sens que l'aiguille a tourné sur un cadran à l'envers, Dans l'élan je me suis emporté et je t'ai privé d'air" ("I feel like the needle has turned on a reverse clock, In my impulse, I took the air from you"). He recognizes his actions have caused pain and wishes for the partner's return.
