J Carp delves into his experience within a convoluted relationship, pointing out the struggles of trying to maintain something that’s already lost. The lyrics are laid on top of a luscious synth-pop instrumental paying homage to the music of the late 80s and early 90s.
Let’s Go!
[VERSE 1]
I
Can’t force myself to say that last goodbye
Your cherry lipstick stained my Dior
Why’d you taste so sweet?
You had your hands all over me
Are they still mine?
You (yeah you)
The girl who once told me to take a chance
Is now the one who’s trying to hold back
The way she loves
It’s gone on for long enough
I don’t know why (dont know why)
[PRE Chorus]
See your shadow cross the room
You still wear that same perfume
Feels like some things stay the same
But baby why can’t one be me?
Its so curious I swear
Call your name when you’re not there
Got me second guessing
Never ending
Playing with my fear
[Chorus]
If you give me one more night
I swear I’ll love you right
I can see it in your eyes
You and I in Paradise
Like a fire I can’t ignite
Like a kiss with no goodnight
I can see it in your eyes
You and I in Paradise
[VERSE 2]
Slow down
Gone for a week now
Lately I’ve been feeling so high
And something bout it don’t feel right
I’m a suburbanite but you’re a city girl
And out of all the other cities in the world
You chose mine
[PRE Chorus]
Throw your phone across the room
Angels have their demons too
Pretty eyes a sinners mind
Leave my broken heart behind
Had my name around your neck
Now a stranger’s in your bed
If you leave me now you leave forever
Ever never mind
[Chorus]
If you give me one more night (just one more night)
I swear I’ll love you right (ou!)
I can see it in your eyes (see it in your eyes)
You and I in Paradise
(paradise)
Like a fire I can’t ignite
Like a kiss with no goodnight (yeah yeah yeah!)
I can see it in your eyes
You and I in Paradise
(paradise!)
Oh!
Alright!
