Halfway to Paradise
Chasing Paradise: Unrequited Love's Sweet Sorrow
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 solely as your friend
I'm only halfway to paradise
I feel only halfway towards achieving paradise or complete happiness
So near, yet so far away
Despite being close to paradise, it still feels unattainably distant
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
I yearn for your lips to meet mine in a kiss
But just when I think they may
However, whenever it seems possible, something obstructs it
You lead me halfway to paradise
You bring me close to paradise, but not fully
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Despite the proximity, it still feels far from complete
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
Being near you feels immensely pleasurable (like heaven)
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)
Knowing your heart is valuable, and yet, mine cannot reach it
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
It's painful to acknowledge my heart cannot access yours
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
Bring your lips close to mine and assure me they'll remain there
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't tease by bringing close but not committing to staying
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Don't lead me almost to paradise; I want a complete connection
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Despite the closeness, it still feels frustratingly far away
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Expressing the frustration of almost attaining something desirable
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
Reiterating the feeling of being so close yet not quite there
