"Paradise" lyrics

Ain't getting younger, there's no time to waste in conversation
Kings and queens of a sun-tan generation
Generally working hard and needing a p-paid vacation
Around the sun one hundred times and they want explanation
Sun-soaked sinners trying not to get caught
What's the use in being what I'm not
Well, let me tell you something, when you get to my age
Love is all you got so I mean it when I say that

Honestly I wanna give you every little
Part of me and if the tide comes back
And takes me with it, I hope you know
It's not love if you can't let go
And I know I'm never gonna give you
Only part of my ever-loving laughing
If the stars don't fade over paradise island
It's never gonna die if we do or die trying

How easy would it be to put the nine-to-five behind
A sandcastle royalty and seven seas of heaven shining?
Don't you find a calming world a little scared to dive in?
Might sing but imagine if we end up swimming
The sun soaks in, it's trying not to lose touch
Relax, rewind, no rush but
Let me tell you something, when you get to my age
Loving is the only thing that's never gonna change, oh

'Cause honestly I wanna give you every little
Part of me and if the tide comes back
And takes me with it, I hope you know
It's not love if you can't let go
And I know I'm never gonna give you
Only part of my ever-loving laughing
If the stars don't fade over paradise island
It's never gonna die if we do or die trying

Honestly I wanna give you every little
Part of me and if the tide comes back
And takes me with it, I hope you know
It's not love if you can't let go
And I know I'm never gonna give you
Only part of my ever-loving laughing
If the stars don't fade over paradise island
It's never gonna die if we do or die trying
