[Intro – soft pads, distant vocal chops] (Ohhh… yeah…) (Driftin’… driftin’…) [Verse 1] I was chasing sunsets on an empty road Golden skies but I still felt cold Every city, every face I knew Felt like something missing… till I found you I was running circles in a lonely dream Shadows dancing where the light should be Then your touch cut through the blue Now every color leads me back to you [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need no island, no silver sea No perfect picture painted just for me All I ever needed… came into view [Chorus] Paradise ain’t a place I find It’s the way you’re looking in my eyes Every moment, every truth Baby, my paradise is you No more searching, no more miles I get lost in your every smile All I ever thought I knew Fades away… my paradise is you [Drop – deep house groove, female vocal echo: “you… you… paradise… you…”] [Verse 2] Midnight dancing in your silhouette Every heartbeat got me tangled in All the silence starts to speak When your rhythm’s pulling close to me No more questions, no disguise Found my heaven in your eyes Every broken piece I knew Falls together when I’m close to you [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need no skyline, painted gold No empty dreams that I used to hold Every road just leads me back to you [Chorus] Paradise ain’t a place I find It’s the way you’re looking in my eyes Every moment, every truth Baby, my paradise is you No more searching, no more miles I get lost in your every smile All I ever thought I knew Fades away… my paradise is you [Bridge – stripped back, emotional] (Just you… just you…) In your arms the world stands still Every doubt, you help me heal (Ohhh…) If I fall, you pull me through All I am… belongs to you [Final Chorus – layered, uplifting] Paradise ain’t a distant shore It’s your love I’ve been searching for Every breath, every view Leads me home… straight back to you [Outro – fading pads, echoing female vocal] (You… you… paradise…) (My paradise is you…)
