Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And outgoing style
My heart was completely conquered
I saw you and I walking down the aisle
Oh all those envy looks and sighs
But then you met a girl
Who had traveled the world
Found a peace of mind from India
As long as you’re with her
When I see you with her
Looking peaceful and sincere
Some dot between your eyebrows
How I wish I could be happy, happy
But still I feel this way
Now I’m meeting a shrink
Who wants me to think
That there’s still life without you
But I’m afraid that I forget your smile
While I’m listening all those lies
To get rid of these thoughts
I’ll lock them in a box and I’ll
Send it somewhere in India
That’s the end of the line, I’ll be just fine
I will seal it with a kiss
You’ll be left now in the past
And I will be free at last
La mer, ooh la mer, take away
My despair
