The Song I'm Loving Today

Paradise (Coldplay)

I've listened through Coldplay's latest album, Mylo Xyloto, a couple of times.  Honestly though, I haven't given it the attention I should have.  Then, a couple of weeks ago, E championed "Paradise" as the cutest music video on the internet.  Turns out: she's right.  It's so adorable I couldn't stop laughing, but it's also surprisingly touching!



When she was just a girl,
She expected the world.
But it flew away from her reach,
So she ran away in her sleep,
To the para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Every time she closed her eyes.

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world.
But it flew away from her reach,
And the bullets catch in her teeth.
Life goes on, it gets so heavy;
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
Every tear a waterfall,
In the night, the stormy night,
She closed her eyes.
In the night, the stormy night,
Away she flies.

And dream of para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh.
She dreamed of para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh.

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

And so lying underneath the stormy skies,
She'd say "oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I know the sun must set to rise."

This could be para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Could be para, para, paradise,
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh.

This could be para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Could be para, para, paradise,
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh.

This could be para, para, paradise,
Para, para, paradise,
Could be para, para, paradise,
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh.
