The lyrics to La Brass Banda's "Jacqueline" tell the story of two people who have had a deep connection and enjoyed each other's company. The singer reminisces about the good times they shared, mentioning how they laughed, did silly things together, and believed that their time together would last forever. He remembers the moment when they first met, at a boring party they both wanted to leave quickly. He drove her home, and they spent the night talking, with their hands intertwined. However, things seem to have changed now, and the singer cannot explain why it doesn't feel the same. He believes that they need to part ways and rediscover themselves on their own, telling Jacqueline that he must leave.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of nostalgia for a time that has passed but also an understanding that people can grow and change, leading them to drift apart. The singer acknowledges the beauty of the time they had together but also recognizes that it is time to let go and move on.
