Halfway To Paradise
Journey to Paradise: Unveiling the Bittersweet Quest for Love
Lyrics
I want to be your lover
I desire to be in a romantic relationship with you.
But your friend is all I've stayed
However, I have remained only as your friend.
I'm only halfway to paradise
I feel incomplete in achieving paradise or perfect happiness.
So near, yet so far away
You are close to me, but there's still a significant emotional distance.
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
I yearn for your kisses on my lips.
But just when I think they may
Just when I believe your kisses might happen,
You lead me halfway to paradise
You only take me halfway to paradise, not fully there.
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Despite being close, there's a lingering emotional gap.
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
Being near you is almost like heaven.
But seein' you can do just so much
However, seeing you in person can only provide limited satisfaction.
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
It pains me to know that your heart is a valuable treasure,
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
And sadly, I'm forbidden from touching it with my heart.
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
Place your lips close to mine and affirm they will stay there.
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Express commitment and permanence in our intimacy.
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Don't take me only halfway to paradise; aim for completeness.
so near, yet so far away
Even though proximity is there, emotional fulfillment is elusive.
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Expressing the frustration of being close yet feeling distant.
Mmm so near, yet so far away
Reiterating the theme of being almost there but still far from paradise.
