Paradise
Chasing Memories in Tequila Sunsets: Vivian Lok's Paradise
Lyrics
Let me let you in on my new secret
Introducing a new secret to be shared
But only if you promise not to keep it
Requesting a promise not to disclose the secret
You flipped my world upside down in a night
Describing a significant impact on life caused by someone
Wrote this song about you, you and I
Expressing the creation of a song about the person
We were staying up instead of sleeping
Choosing to stay awake instead of sleeping
My heart was doing backflips stead of beating
Portraying heightened emotions, heart reacting intensely
Said my voice was a sweet lullaby
Characterizing the voice as a sweet lullaby
I got lost when you looked in my eyes
Feeling lost when the person looked into the eyes
On the beach breathing ocean air
Recalling a moment on the beach, breathing ocean air
Tangled up sand in my hair
Describing a physical connection with sand in the hair
Sun down no one else was there
Setting the scene of a perfect moment during sunset
It was perfect for a minute
Highlighting the fleeting perfection of the moment
But now you're just a fantasy
Acknowledging the person as now just a fantasy
Of somewhere that we use to be
Reflecting on a past connection that no longer exists
I just want another night
Expressing a desire for another memorable night
Somebody take me back to paradise
Requesting to be taken back to paradise
Now you're just a memory
Acknowledging the person as a memory
But at least you showed me what I need
Finding value in the lessons learned from the person
I just want another night
Expressing a longing for another special night
Somebody take me back to paradise
Reiterating the desire to return to paradise
Cuz baby it was tequila and a sunrise
Recalling the influence of tequila and a sunrise
Sex on the beaches all night
Describing intimate moments on the beaches at night
Sneaking out of my hotel room for a drink
Remembering sneaking out for a drink with the person
Around you I was dreaming, didn't even have to think
Emphasizing the dreamlike state around the person
On the beach breathing ocean air (ocean air)
Repeating the beach scene, emphasizing ocean air
Tangled up sand in my hair (in my hair)
Reiterating the physical connection with sand in the hair
Sun down no one else was there (oh, oh)
Repeating the perfect moment during sunset
It was perfect for a minute
Reiterating the transient nature of perfection
But now you're just a fantasy
Acknowledging the person as a fantasy
Of somewhere that we use to be
Reflecting on a past connection that no longer exists
I just want another night (I just want another)
Expressing a desire for another memorable night
Somebody take me back to paradise (somebody take me back to)
Requesting to be taken back to paradise
Now you're just a memory
Acknowledging the person as a memory
But at least you showed me what I need
Finding value in the lessons learned from the person
I just want another night
Expressing a longing for another special night
Somebody take me back to paradise
Reiterating the desire to return to paradise
