I didn't see it coming
The big departure
Closing the door without coming back
I know you don't understand
My life my choices and
The urge to touch the future
No, I don't forget you
I won't say it
But when I think about it, it dances
In my chest
So forgive me
For all those nights when
I prayed they'd leave me alone
It's the same photo
That I look at
When my sky isn't nice
I miss home
It's nothing new
I know we'll see each other soon
Even miles apart
When time, everything stops
I still think of you
It blows in my head
Memories in a storm
And I think of you even harder
Despite the miles
And Paris is partying
I still think of you
It spins in my head
When time just stops
I think of you even harder
How's it going
I don't know
I'm living the life I wanted
But don't get me wrong
My dreams get the better of me
My heart would rather
Leave the city
I'm not lying to you
This time's the last time
I take the leap
No longer into the void
If you only knew how much I believe in it
Despite the pain the missteps
In this huge dream that drives me
It's the same photo
That I look at
When my sky isn't nice
I miss home
It's nothing new
I know we'll see each other soon
Even miles apart
When time, everything stops
I still think of you
It blows in my head
Memories in a storm
And I think of you even harder
Despite the miles
And Paris is partying
I still think of you
It spins in my head
When time just stops
I think of you even harder

SONG MEANING

Je Pense À Vous feels like a postcard written at midnight from a bustling Paris balcony. Vietnamese singer Lihn shares the thrill of chasing her dreams far from home while confessing the sudden emptiness that comes after closing the familiar door behind her. In every verse she revisits the same photograph, a tiny lifeline that sparks storms of memories. The chorus swirls with distance, Parisian nightlife, and her quiet promise: “Even at kilometers away, when time stops, I still think of you.” It is homesickness and ambition tangled together in one heartbeat.

Beneath the catchy melody lies a tender reminder that pursuing the future often means carrying the past in your back pocket. Lihn admits to the nights she begged for peace, the stumbles along the way, yet she believes fiercely in the “immense dream” pulling her forward. The song tells learners that longing does not weaken you – it fuels you – and that every goodbye can double as an À bientôt. Listening to it is like reading a secret diary that celebrates courage, nostalgia, and the unbreakable thread that ties us to the people we love.
