Eve & Paradise Lost Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took the fall for us, babe, never saw it as a debt
I've got this gut feeling that somehow only I will pay for it
We gave into temptation, shame came, we pulled on some clothes
I've got this gut feeling, I'll shoulder this fiction for us both

[Pre-Chorus]
I will always take the fall for us
Though we both ate the fruit, my love
Though we both ate the fruit

[Chorus]
When they say I was made for you (Ooh)
I love you so, but still, it's hard to get my head around it (Ah)
When they say I was made from you (Ooh)
I bite my tongue, and hope my heart can get its head around (Ah)

[Post-Chorus]
Our paradise lost, our paradise lost (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
So we hid there in that garden, fruit was dripping down our chins
Who'd have known that I'd be carrying our babies and our sins?
No one warned what it feels like, had no mother, sister, friend
You said, "Calm down," rolled your eyes at pain you'll never comprehend

[Pre-Chorus]
I will always take the fall for us (I will always take the fall for us)
Though we both ate the fruit, my love (Though we both ate the fruit, my love)
Though we both ate the fruit (Though we both ate the fruit)

[Chorus]
When they say I was made for you (Ooh)
I love you so, but still, it's hard to get my head around it (Ah)
When they say I was made from you (Ooh)
I bite my tongue, and hope my heart can get its head around (Ah)

[Post-Chorus]
Our paradise lost, our paradise lost
Our paradise lost, guess I'll bear the cost

[Outro]
Our paradise lost, guess I'll bear the cost

Dan Smith:

I was really interested in imagining this epic story of Adam and Eve that’s been echoed through so much culture and forcing it into a normalised domestic situation on this song. I was imagining how crazy it must have been to be the first woman with no one around to help or give you advic...
