Eva
Jamaram Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva
In any kind of weather
Me and that girl Eva

Verse 1:
It's all the same got no one to blame
And your standing in the frame framed by the game
And you've got nothing to say but day after day

Keeps moving the way you planned out straight

So step aside and take a break from love
Turn around and look me in the eye

Chorus:
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva

Verse 2:
I was passing by a passenger in the morning on the train
I'm sure I knew her from somewhere or does she just look the same
And I'm asking her have we met before can't remember your name
Some place some how we lost contact and there's no one to blame

So step aside and take a break from love
Turn around and look me in the eye

Chorus:
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva

Bridge
Eva do you remember...
Eva do you remember...

Chorus

The second verse talks about the chance encounter of the singer with a girl on a train that he feels they've met somewhere before.
