On Paradise

Sweet baby

Like you, I emerged

From a certain uncertain chaos

They say those who are quickest, survive

And those who are strongest, thrive

But I never want to get all the things that I want

How awful would that be for me?

I’m happier here, slow

And indulgent in the sun

I’m happier here, weak

Let the night come when it comes

Sweet baby

Never thought I’d be the one

To accept my own defeat

I know if I’d been quicker, I’d have survived

And if I’d been stronger, I’d have thrived

But I never want to get all the things that I want

How awful would that be for me?

I’m happier here, slow

And indulgent in the sun

I’m happier here, weak

Let the night come when it comes

I’m happier here, slow

And indulgent in the sun

Let the night come when it comes
