Halfway to Paradise
Journey to Unrequited Love: Halfway to Paradise
Lyrics
I want to be your lover
I desire to be your romantic partner
But your friend is all I've stayed
However, I have remained only as your friend
I'm only halfway to paradise
I feel that I am only halfway to experiencing true happiness or fulfillment
So near, yet so far away
Although close to paradise, there is still a significant distance separating us
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
I yearn for your kisses on my lips
But just when I think they may
But just when I sense the possibility
You lead me halfway to paradise
You only take me partway towards experiencing paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Despite being close, there is still a considerable distance
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
Being near you is incredibly pleasurable
But seein' you can do just so much
However, merely seeing you has limitations
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
It pains me to realize that your heart is a precious treasure
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
Yet, my heart is forbidden from touching yours
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
Place your sweet lips close to mine
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
And assure me that they will stay there
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Don't lead me only halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Despite proximity, there is still a significant gap
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Expressing the frustration of being so close yet far from paradise
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
Reiterating the theme of being near but still distant from the desired state
