Halfway to Paradise
Yearning for Paradise: A Tale of Love's Unreachable Bliss
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've 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
Despite being close to paradise, it seems distant and unattainable.
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
I yearn for your lips to kiss mine.
But just when I think they may
However, just when I think it might happen,
You lead me halfway to paradise
You only take me partway towards paradise.
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Despite being close, true fulfillment remains elusive.
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
Being close to you feels almost heavenly.
But seein' you can do just so much
However, merely seeing you has its limitations.
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 unfortunately, my heart is not allowed to touch it.
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
I request you to bring your lips close to mine.
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Confirm that they will stay there in a sweet and intimate gesture.
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Don't lead me only partway to paradise.
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Despite the proximity, it still feels distant and unattainable.
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Expressing the frustration of being so close yet unable to fully reach paradise.
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
Reiterating the feeling of being near paradise but still out of reach.
