This Could Be Paradise

Take me back to the ocean
Where the sea meets the open sky
Darling this could be paradise, paradise
Stay with me one more night
Lose yourself in slow motion
Take a hit, 'cause we need that high
Darling this could be paradise, paradise
Stay with me one more night

Sometimes I wonder if this is real life
Slip into a dream about a summer night
Levitating, oh, oh
Levitating, oh, oh
But then it's blurry, and it chokes and dies
Fall into reality, a swift decline
No escaping, oh, oh
No escaping, oh, oh

We're two bright lights in a world of dark
That don't know how to see
A red hot mess and a work of art -
They're just memories

So take me back to the ocean
Where the sea meets the open sky
Darling this could be paradise, paradise
Stay with me one more night
Lose yourself in slow motion
Take a hit, 'cause we need that high
Darling this could be paradise, paradise
Stay with me one more night

Sometimes I wonder what it's like to fly
If I bent my arms and put them by my sides
Would I take off? Oh, oh
Would I take off? Oh, oh
Soar above the forest and the ocean blue
Sail to the very corners of the earth with you
It could be paradise, paradise
But only if you want it to

We're breaking our hearts to the radio
When it gets too loud to sleep
And painting on smiles any way we know
But they're melting in the heat
And all along, the feeling's wrong
The taste is bittersweet
But it's not over, it's never over
It doesn't have to be

So take me back to the ocean
Where the sea meets the open sky
Darling this could be paradise, paradise
Stay with me one more night
Lose yourself in slow motion
Take a hit, 'cause we need that high
Darling this could be paradise, paradise
Stay with me one more night
