Paradise

I might have taken my time
And it's fine to do it right
But despite the great delight
I can't lie if it's worth the fight
I refined through trial by design
I took pride as I cried from the side-lines
No-one close by to rely on a lifeline
Almost died as I climbed to the spotlight
It's paradise

You've got no worries
You're as bright as you see
Daylight falls, what did you promise me?
You're almost here, you've miles to sail
And got me thinking of all the ways I failed, now

I'll hold up
Thought I was lost once
I had a dream where I was crowned queen and every
Everybody was cheering at me
And I didn't want to wake from that particular dream

Life gives you love songs
And they have their place when love don't feel wrong, no
I wouldn't say loves my philosophy
'Cause I've got plenty other hours to spend worrying about me

It's dynamite, it's paradise
When it hits you in the right light, then bam
You're gonna see, you're one and the same and just
Hold on to that feeling you came in with
Sunrise, oh it's warm on your skin
Its sight, its clarity, now you know what you're seeing
I wasn't so blind, I was just too tired
I've woken up, not living a lie

I might have taken my time
And it's fine to to do it right
But despite the great delight, I know it's me
And it should have been easier to live truthfully

It stood the test and I passed like I'm flying
And the new home I found was some welcoming-in
"You can relax, you've been trying for so long"
I can't cause trying's all I really I know how to do well

Refined through trial by design
I took pride as I cried from the side-lines
No-one close by to rely on a lifeline
Almost died as I climbed to the spotlight
I wasn't looking for free-spirit, fence-sitting
Living like they'll die as they came to living
I've got a f*ck-you brand new attitude

And I don't wanna be played by a fool like you
And I don't want to compromise a thing
For the first time I'll trust my heart and feelings
