I don’t need paradise

[Verse 1] Leather and machine oil Clinging to your faded black tee Your boots gleam in the hot sun You look back, that slow grin meant for me Black hair whipping wild in the rearview Sweat tracing lines along your skin Mile markers burning like cigarettes While my hand finds yours — pulling me in [Chorus] I don’t need paradise When you’re tearing up the highway with me Our engines roar with something dangerous Every shift, every breath, every rising degree I love this feeling White lines blurring in the fever heat I love this feeling Your body close to mine — reckless, warm, complete I love you forever… right here on this seat [Verse 2] Gas station lights flickering low You pull me close beside the ice chest glow Grease on your fingers, baby You trace a line down my coat, soft and slow You whisper “No map, no mercy” Just the night, the road, the heat we hold If the future ever catches us It’ll find us burning bright and uncontrolled [Chorus] I don’t need paradise When you’re tearing up the highway with me Our engines roar with something dangerous Every shift, every breath, every rising degree I love this feeling White lines blurring in the fever heat I love this feeling Your body close to mine — reckless, warm, complete I love you forever… right here on this seat [Bridge] If the world goes down in flames Let it choke on our dust and heat If the stars all fall tonight They can watch us tangled in this heartbeat Your hand tightens around mine You grin in the dash light’s glow “Baby, this is all we get” I breathe back: “Then burn it… burn it slow… No regrets… just let it go” [Final Chorus – intensiver, aber nicht explizit] I don’t need paradise When you’re moving with me on this highway Engines screaming, pulses racing free Every moment, every spark, every rising degree I love this feeling White lines spinning, your breath on my skin I love this feeling Come undone with me — again and again I love you forever… Till the tank runs dry and the fire wins [Outro – geflüstert] Leather… sweat… gasoline… You and me… Burning… Forever.
