Lyrics
We come to life when we're side by side
We feel alive when we are together.
I don't know where to begin
Uncertainty about where to start or how to express feelings.
So close your eyes and see the fire run wild
Suggesting to close the eyes and imagine a passionate and unrestrained fire.
I'll chase freckles on your skin
Expressing a desire to explore and enjoy intimate details, like freckles, on the partner's skin.
This is paradise
Repetition emphasizing that the described experience is a form of paradise.
This is paradise
-Give your imagination room to breathe
Encouraging creativity and giving space for imagination.
Don't waste a second awake
Advising not to waste time and to live fully in the present.
I'll play your favorite record on repeat
Promising to repeatedly engage in activities that bring joy.
And as you whisper my name
Recognition of the partner whispering the speaker's name, signifying intimacy.
This is paradise
Reiteration of the described experience as paradise, reinforcing its significance.
This is paradise
-This is paradise
-This is paradise
-We're of a generation lost and loved
Identifying with a generation that has experienced both loss and love.
We are the creatures at night
Describing the speakers as active during the night, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
Live out our lives with the darkness above
Living life despite challenges, with a metaphorical darkness overhead.
Slowly running out of time
Feeling a sense of urgency as time passes.
But this is paradise
Repetition emphasizing the current experience as a form of paradise.
This is paradise
-This is paradise
-This is paradise
-When I look into your eyes
Expressing a deep connection or emotional intensity when looking into the partner's eyes.
I'm in paradise
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's state of being in paradise when with the partner.
And I can't disguise
-That I'm in paradise
-We come to life when we're side by side
Reiteration of feeling alive when together, similar to the first line.
I don't know where to begin
Restating the uncertainty or overwhelming emotions at the beginning of the relationship.
So close your eyes and see the fire run wild
Encouraging visualization of passionate experiences with closed eyes.
I'll chase freckles on your skin
Expressing a desire to explore and cherish physical aspects of the partner.
This is paradise
Final repetition, reinforcing the notion that the current experience is indeed paradise.
This is paradise
