Paradise Lyrics

[Intro]
Stand up to my man
Stand back up for him

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I'm so dramatic yeah
I know
I know, I'm so dramatic yeah
I know

[Chorus]
So pretend that we're surrounded
And pretend I 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 oh oh oh
By this paradise oh oh oh oh
By this paradise oh oh oh oh
Pretend that we're surrounded

[Verse 2]
I refuse to be
Out here on my own this 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

[Chorus]
So pretend that we're surrounded
And pretend I 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 oh oh oh
By this paradise oh oh oh oh
By this paradise oh oh oh oh
Pretend that we're surrounded
Pretend I got what it takes

[Outro]
Nothing here without you's any fun
Nothing here without you's any fun

Paradise Q&A

What did James Vincent McMorrow say about "Paradise"?

It needed to feel naive and sincere. I’d assumed this song wouldn’t connect with a bunch of kids, but when they arrived in the studio they had learned every single line and couldn’t stop singing it. It reminded me why we make music: it’s not a selfish endeavour, it’s for everyone.

What have the artists said about the song?

Before the pandemic, another much quieter song opened this record. But I realised that was the wrong instinct. “Paradise” just automatically felt like it set the tone. This song is about the recurring theme in this album: I’ve often been waiting for that signal in the sky and it’s never come, and I...
