And Of All The Places
Chasing Paradise: A Night of Love and Longing
Lyrics
2 AM on a Saturday night, and I'm
It's 2 AM on a Saturday night, and the narrator is
Driving fast, watching all the lights go by
Driving fast, observing the passing lights
I've got so much to say
Expressing a desire to communicate
Been thinking about yesterday, and
Reflecting on the past, particularly yesterday
All the things we couldn't do
Mentioning unfulfilled aspirations
Late nights, art shows, and some bad tattoos
Recalling late nights, art shows, and regrets about tattoos
Take me away tonight
Yearning to be taken away
We're leaving town, everything will be alright
Planning to leave town for a better future
Everything seems so much better
Noting an optimistic perspective
Life is fast, it's now or never
Embracing the fast pace of life
I gotta know if you're the one that got away
Questioning if someone significant was lost
You could be my everything
Expressing the potential importance of the person
Tell me now, cause I'm in paradise
Asking for confirmation in the current joy
(When I'm with you)
Highlighting bliss when together
Kiss me now, babe, don't even think twice
Encouraging immediate affection without hesitation
You look into my eyes
Describing a moment of connection
And it feels so right
Emphasizing the rightness of the connection
And of all the places I've ever been
Stating a preference for being with the person
I only wanna be with you
Reiterating the desire to be exclusively with them
So tell me anything
Requesting open communication
Her eyes shine like stars on a blue night
Complimenting the person's eyes
We've got some time to waste
Highlighting available time for enjoyment
I get lost in everything you say
Getting captivated by the person's words
In a lifetime much better
Suggesting a better life together
We could runaway, get lost in the night
Proposing to escape and enjoy the night
Right now, we're stuck in this old town
Currently stuck in an uninspiring town
Just the one to write this song about
Confirming the person inspiring the song
Everything seems so much better
Reaffirming the improved perspective
Life is fast, it's now or never
Repeating the urgency of seizing the moment
I gotta know if you're the one that got away
Revisiting the idea of a lost significant other
You could be my everything
Reiterating the importance of the person
Tell me now, cause I'm in paradise
Seeking confirmation in the current happiness
(When I'm with you)
Expressing joy when with the person
Kiss me now, babe, don't even think twice
Encouraging immediate and unrestrained affection
You look into my eyes
Noting the connection through eye contact
And it feels so right
Emphasizing the rightness of the connection
And of all the places I've ever been
Reiterating the preference for being exclusively with them
I only wanna be with you
Affirming the desire to be with the person
Eyes like stars, she's everything
Praising the person's qualities
Who knows what she's thinking
Expressing uncertainty about the person's thoughts
You could be my everything
Reaffirming the potential importance of the person
Tell me now, cause I'm in paradise
Seeking confirmation in the current joy
(When I'm with you)
Expressing joy when with the person
Kiss me now, babe, don't even think twice
Encouraging immediate and unrestrained affection
You look into my eyes
Noting the connection through eye contact
And it feels so right
Emphasizing the rightness of the connection
And of all the places I've ever been
Reiterating the preference for being exclusively with them
I only wanna be with you
A final affirmation of the desire to be with the person
