Paradise

I forgot to call
Get a little lost, I'm sorry
I'm always on my phone
Looking down at
Stars before they form
Baby in the light they're golden
Or maybe they're blue
And I just can't tell yet
I know
I'm so
Dramatic
Yeah, I know
(Oooh)
I know
I'm so
Dramatic
Yeah, I know
(Ooooh)
So, pretend that we're surrounded
And pretend I’ve got what it takes
To drive us out of town love
Avoiding where the other bodies lay
‘Cause I never wanna be like them
Never knowing if I’ll keep you safe
Never loving like we've got no brakes
Pretend that we're surrounded
By this paradise (oh)
By this paradise (oh)
By this paradise (oh)
Pretend that we're surrounded
‘Cause I refuse to be
Out here on my own next summer
Home at the weekend
Making no plans
Don't forget to breathe
Living in the warmth is something
It won't be long
Before we're back there again
So, pretend that we're surrounded
And pretend I’ve got what it takes
To drive us out of town, love
Avoiding where the other bodies lay
‘Cause I never wanna be like them
Never knowing if I’ll keep you safe
Never loving like we've got no brakes
Pretend that we're surrounded
By this paradise (oh)
By this paradise (oh)
By this paradise (oh)
Pretend that we're surrounded
Pretend I’ve got what it takes
‘Cause nothing here without you is any fun
Nothing here without you is any fun
