In this evocative track, Ellie Goulding delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship underscored by longing and cyclical behaviors. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals constantly striving for an unattainable ideal, "chasing that paradise," amidst emotional turmoil and unresolved questions. Goulding masterfully captures the duality of human connections, where moments of recklessness and vulnerability intertwine with the pursuit of ephemeral happiness. The repeated suggestion to "have another drink" symbolizes using temporary escapes to cope with deeper issues, reflecting the bittersweet nature of their bond. Ultimately, the song conveys a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the perpetual quest for something more in the midst of imperfection.
Paradise
Lyrics
I've been filling in the blanks
You left me with your open hands
I never knew what I had to do
Stumbling out in the dark
You left me with a question mark
You said the bridges had to be burned
And it's a pain that only we know
Oh and you lost all on your own
Always has to be a new scare
To keep us falling over the edge
So, have another drink
Have another drink, call me
If this is what it takes
If it's what it takes, baby
Dream another dream
'Cause you're killing it, honey
This is what we do to get by
We're always chasing that paradise
Paradise, paradise, paradise
There's a place we try to reach
Impossible as it would seem
I heard you crying out in your sleep
I see that look you save for me
I pull you back upon your feet
I know you always need something more, more
And it's a thing that only we know
Oh and you lost all on your own
Always has to be a new scare
To keep us falling over the edge
So, have another drink
Have another drink, call me
If this is what it takes
If it's what it takes, baby
Dream another dream
'Cause you're killing it, honey
This is what we do to get by
We're always chasing that paradise, paradise
We're always chasing that paradise, paradise
I know we're headed for a moment, baby
We made sense of it
I know I struck you so reckless, honey
We gave into it
Paradise, I know we're headed for a moment, baby
We made sense of it
Paradise, I know I struck you so reckless, honey
We gave in
So, have another drink
Have another drink, call me
If this is what it takes
If it's what it takes, baby
Dream another dream
'Cause you're killing it, honey
This is what we do to get by
We're always chasing that paradise, paradise
We're always chasing that paradise, paradise
