[Intro]
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
[Verse 1]
I remember those times
I felt like I have been dreaming
Found someone who saw something
That I thought I'd been seeing
But clouds started appearing
I can feel the rumbling
I can feel the reeling
[Chorus]
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise
I think I need a break from the rules that you make
I think I need a break from the rules, from the rules
From the rules that you make
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
Boom, bo-boom-bo-, boom
[Verse 2]
I tried to run but you'd find me
Everywhere you kept by me
I just don't understand that we got so lost
So far from the real thing
Well I was hoping we'd be a thing
I was praying we'd keep sane
But bright turned to black and I saw
[Chorus]
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise
I think I need a break from the rules that you make
I think I need a break from the rules, from the rules
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise
I think I need a break from the rules that you make
I think I need a break from the rules, from the rules
From the rules that you make
[Bridge]
Finally you saw lightning
Struck you hard, like those vikings
You were laughing out
You are lashing out
You were saying the right things
But you kept me wrong
You kept me wrong
Finally you saw lightning
Struck you hard, like those vikings
You were laughing out
You are lashing out
You were saying the right things
But you kept me wrong
You kept me wrong
[Chorus]
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise
I think I need a break from the rules that you make
I think I need a break from the rules, from the rules
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise
I think I need a break from the rules that you make
I think I need a break from the rules, from the rules
From the rules that you make
