Lyrics for Your Paradise:

It’s all here 
Welcome to your paradise 
The way is clear 
Welcome to your paradise, welcome to your new life 
Time is every changing things are rearranging just like you 
No need to be worried no need to rush because this time it’s just for you

Your life is my life 
and my life 
it is a part of you

(repeat)

Take it in 
Take it in now 
Take me in 
Breathe me in now 
It’s all here

Welcome to your paradise 
The way is clear 
Welcome to your paradise, welcome to your new life

Your life is my life 
and my life 
It is a part of you

(repeat)

Take it in 
Take it in now 
Take me in 
Breathe me in now

Traces

Closer

VERSE: 
I’ll be waiting there 
catch my name 
scream my name down 
I’ll be waiting open armed 
and sitting - you fall 
into black and stained - 
come out to say - go 
down, and pray 
down, stop and come 

CHORUS 
All stops around the world 
fall away • fall away 
heart chasing for a pearl 
in the right moment you are the key 

You are the key • are the key • key to me 
You are the key • are the key • key to me 

I’ll be waiting there 
change my name 
scream my name down 
I’ll be waiting open armed and seeing you fall 
into down parading now you change my name 
you catch me as I fall 
down and pray 

CHORUS 

Bridge: 
Fall into these arms 
Fall into arms 
Fall into these arms 
Fall into these arms 

CHORUS

Key To Me

VERSE 1: 
why do you run like it hurts babe? 
I could trace your fingers back 
to the place they remember best 
in eyes 
deer in headlights 
what’s come over me? 
I’m shaking like a leaf 
I just know 
I want you so I’ll 
roar like a lion 
So loud you can’t deny 

CHORUS 
I know I can 
become restless 
When I hear (see/feel) you 
I can’t help myself 
like the king of beasts 
find your running feet 
memory 
calling you under me, so I 
I pray to the land to 
make us wild again 

VERSE 2: 
wild again 
what we are 
blood & bones 
going far 
like shooting stars 
I am here 
the battle’s been won 
I'm ready for you 
the shape of delight 
lies in my bones tonight 
and it'll call you - 
it calls you right to me 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE 
Coming up slow 
from a dark so long 
Run on home 
right into my arms 
We’ll raise our heads 
and sing our song 
In our blood and in our bones 
ooh 

so loud they can’t deny 

CHORUS 

OUTRO: makes us wild again 
retrace your steps 
like memories come 
where I'll be waiting 
make us wild again
