[Verse 1]
Jetlag, been in a state of disaster
Ever since I left you
The last time, I saw you just fade away
I get lost tracing my steps back
It costs nearly everything that
I'm not ready to lose today
[Post-Verse]
No, I'm not ready to lose
Everything I know, I'm letting go of
[Chorus]
Paris, you know I held on too much
I left you at the station
I put you in my past
Oh and now darling
All that shit is behind us
You never have to wonder
You never have to ask
You never have to
[Verse 2]
Drink up, every last drop and
Shake off the feeling that you're watching me now
I should've just told the truth
Now, sweetheart, listen to the way
I cannot forget a single day
I spent rolling all around the room with you
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just a fantasy, taking over like a disease

Pull me out of this, I can't breathe
I just need a rest from
[Chorus]
Paris, you know I held on too much
I left you at the station
I put you in my past
Oh and now darling
All that shit is behind us
You never have to wonder
You never have to ask
You never have to
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just a fantasy, taking over like a disease
Pull me out of this, I can't breathe
It's burning through my chest
Fantasy, taking over like a disease
Pull me out of this, I can't breathe
Oh I just need a rest
[Post-Verse]
No I'm not ready to lose you again
[Chorus]
Oh Paris, you know I held on too much
I left you at the station
I put you in my past (I put you in my past)
Oh and now darling
All that shit is behind us
You never have to wonder
You never have to ask
You never have to
[Outro]
Oh Paris
Oh darling
You never, ever, ever have to ask
You never have to
