[Intro]
Paradisin'
Livin' my best life thrivin'
Drivin' you cra-a-a-a-azy
Paradisin'
Livin' my best life thrivin'
You say I'm misbehavin'
But I'm just a kid, so save it
Let me have an unforgettable time of my life
[Verse 1]
I went and messed up again
Went against everything you said
Summer of drinking in Trafalgar Square, yeah, yeah
Then you threaten to send me to
Boarding school for the seventh time
I know we can't afford that, so I'm fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Though I'm stuck in the middle of it all
Isn't life so, life so beautiful?
[Chorus]
Paradisin'
Livin' my best life thrivin'
Drivin' you cra-a-a-a-azy
Paradisin'
Livin' my best life thrivin'
You say I'm misbehavin'
But I'm just a kid, so save it
Let me have an unforgettable time of my life
[Verse 2]
First kiss in 2003
Making out, feeling carefree
But then his phone rings
And your number's on the screen (Oh, fuck)
Hacked my MSN messenger
Blackmailed my best friend, telling her
"Rina、あんた、ふざけんじゃないよ。私は—"
Mum, I'm fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I bet you think I'm terrible
But you don't know nothing, not at all
[Chorus]
Paradisin'
Living my best life thriving
Drivin' you cra-a-a-a-azy
Paradisin'
Living my best life thriving
You say I'm misbehavin'
But I'm just a kid, so save it
Let me have an unforgettable time of my life
[Chorus]
Paradisin'
Living my best life thriving
Drivin' you cra-a-a-a-azy
Paradisin'
Living my best life thriving
You say I'm misbehavin'
But I'm just a kid, so save it
Let me have an unforgettable time of my life
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

This song is about my wild teenage years, the time of my life that I had the most fun and also found my love of music as a form of escape. My mum and I had the WORST relationship and evading her felt like a computer game.

In my early teens, I was so fucking hormonal. My paren...
I wanted to write a theme song for a TV show. Like if my life, my teenage years, was like a TV show, then what would be the soundtrack, the opening credits? It really reminded me of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and that kind of fast BPM you’d get in the ’80s. I think it’s at 130 or 140 BPM. I was really...
