Lyrics

Pain and Paradise
Drew James© 2007
 
If I were to ask you
Would you answer truly?
Would you smile softly?
Would you whisper to me?
Or would you stare at me in silence
And shake your head in disbelief
Would I regret it for a lifetime?
Would you turn around and leave
 
Are you the dream that will come true?
Or must I learn to forget you?
Without an answer to these questions
I’ll be doomed to spend my life
Between pain and paradise
 
If I were to tell you
All the things I want to say
Would you reach your hand and touch me?
And chase my loneliness away?
Or would you question my intentions
Would you believe me insincere?
Would your words come from a distance?
Would you pretend you didn’t hear?
 
(Chorus)
 
If I were to kiss you
Would your lips be moist and sweet?
Would you draw me ever closer?
Would your passion quickly heat?
Or would your eyes fill up with horror?
Would you break down into tears?
Would you pull away in anger?
Confirming all my deepest fears
 
(Chorus)
 
If I were to ask you
Would you answer truly?
Would you meet me half way?
Would you lead me up the pathway?
Up the pathway to paradise
To paradise
Would you meet me?
Would you lead me to paradise?
