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
