Foster The People - Paradise State of Mind Lyrics

I don't wanna go home 'til the light is comin' out
My thoughts are slowly driftin' back onto the grounds
And when I'm all alone and my head is spinnin' out
I'm just waitin' for your voice to pull me back into the clouds
Well, paradise lives in a state of mind
And the lines keep gettin' blurry 'cause we're all afraid of life
But my heart's alive, and it's bleedin' out alone
I'm just sittin' in my room, I can't stop starin' at my phone

But I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)
Yeah, I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)
Oh, can you hear me now? (Oh-oh)
Whoa-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Stop tryin' to work out why something feels good and let it all in
Just need to stop tryin' to work out why something feels good to let it begin

It's a common thing, when the fear is speakin' out
And to get caught in the pressure of the things that drag me down
But I want the truth, I keep searchin' for the proof
And distracted by the existential questions of my future

And I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)
Yeah, I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)
Oh, can you hear me now?
Whoa-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Just need to stop tryin' to work out why something feels good and let it all in
Yeah, just need to stop tryin' to work out why something feels good to let it begin

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Oh

Well, lift me up, lift me higher up again
To leave all the madness of my thoughts
When all the words come rushin' in, I need to be lifted up
Lift me higher up again
I want to walk in all my love
'Cause all my love for you is real, I want you to be lifted up
Lifted up, lifted up
Oh-oh
Yeah, lifted up, yeah, higher
Lifted higher, yeah, higher
Lifted higher, higher
Higher, higher
