Paradise Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep

[Chorus 1]
And dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

[Pre-Chorus]
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel brеaks the butterfly
Every tеar, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night, she'll close her eyes
In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly
[Chorus 2]
And dreams of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I know the sun must set to rise

[Chorus]
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
