Sous les Pavés, la Plage

Shut your eyes, can you hear the waves

And see the world the way it was?

And you stand with arms outstretched

Looking simple, fine, and plain

Sous les pavés, la plage

Stop the clock, give me a smile

They're playing our song

But the beat is off

And the key is wrong

Là tu te dégages et voles selon

You and I weren’t made for love

Get it straight, our time won’t come

I was told when I was young

No crying in the rain

Hung up on the thought that the future could be bright

Oh, what a splendid mirage

Sometimes you gotta dig to get to the heart

Sous les pavés, la plage

Maybe I’m not made for love

Maybe you’re too good for us

But your light heart for my dark lust

I guess I’d never trade

The wind has changed but the echo is the song

Will you miss it when it's gone?

Will you miss me when I'm gone?

Sous les pavés, la plage
