Halfway to Paradise
Yearning for Paradise: Unrequited Love's Dance
Lyrics
I want to be your lover
I desire to be your romantic partner
But your friend is all I've stayed
However, I've remained in the role of a friend
I'm only halfway to paradise
I feel that I am only halfway to achieving a state of bliss or happiness
So near, yet so far away
We are physically close, but emotionally distant
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
I yearn for your kisses on my lips
But just when I think they may
However, just when I sense the possibility, it doesn't happen
You lead me halfway to paradise
You bring me to a point that feels like paradise, but it's incomplete
So near, yet so far away, mmm
We are close, yet there's a significant emotional gap
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
Being near you is incredibly enjoyable
But seein' you can do just so much
However, seeing you in person 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 precious treasure
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
Unfortunately, my heart is not allowed to touch or possess it
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
Bring your lips close to mine and affirm that they are committed to staying there
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't take me only partway to paradise
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Expressing the desire for a complete and fulfilling connection
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Despite physical proximity, there is still emotional distance
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Reiteration of the emotional proximity and distance
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
Emphasizing the closeness and yet the emotional separation
