Lyrics

Paradise

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been filling in the blanks

You left me with your open hands

I never knew what I had to do

Stumbling out in the dark

You left me with a question mark

You said the bridges had to be burned

And it's a pain that only we know

Oh and you lost all on your own

Always has to be a new scare

To keep us falling over the edge

So, have another drink

Have another drink, call me

If this is what it takes

If it's what it takes, baby

Dream another dream

Because you're killing it, honey

This is what we do to get by

We're always chasing that paradise

Paradise, paradise, paradise

There's a place we try to reach

Impossible as it would seem

I heard you crying out in your sleep

I see that look you save for me

I pull you back upon your feet

I know you always need something more, more

And it's a thing that only we know

Oh and you lost all on your own

Always has to be a new scare

To keep us falling over the edge

So, have another drink

Have another drink, call me

If this is what it takes

If it's what it takes, baby

Dream another dream

Because you're killing it, honey

This is what we do to get by

We're always chasing that paradise, paradise

We're always chasing that paradise, paradise

I know we're headed for a moment, baby

We made sense of it

I know I struck you so reckless, honey

We gave into it

I know we're headed for a moment, baby

We made sense of it

I know I struck you so reckless, honey

We gave in

So, have another drink

Have another drink, call me

If this is what it takes

If it's what it takes, baby

Dream another dream

Because you're killing it, honey

This is what we do to get by

We're always chasing that paradise, paradise

We're always chasing that paradise, paradise
