Paris
The Chainsmokers Lyrics

We were staying in Paris
We went to Paris to escape your parents and our problems.

To get away from your parents
We went to Paris to get away from your parents.

And I thought, "Wow
I was amazed at the beautiful surroundings of Paris.

If I could take this in a shot right now
If I could capture this moment in a photograph.

I don't think that we could work this out"
I doubt that we can resolve our problems.

Out on the terrace
We are on a terrace, enjoying the fresh air of Paris.

I don't know if it's fair but I thought "How
I wonder if it's right to abandon you while I'm enjoying myself.

Could I let you fall by yourself
Is it right to leave you alone in your troubles?

While I'm wasted with someone else"
While I'm enjoying my time with someone else.

If we go down then we go down together
If we fail, we'll do so together.

They'll say you could do anything
People will say you're capable of anything.

They'll say that I was clever
People will say I was intelligent for choosing to be with you.

We'll get away with everything
We'll escape consequences for our actions.

Let's show them we are better
Let's prove to others that we are stronger and better than they think.

You look so proud
You seem to be proud of yourself.

Standing there with a frown and a cigarette
You're standing proudly, frowning and smoking a cigarette.

Posting pictures of yourself on the internet
You're uploading photos of yourself online.

We breathe in the air of this small town
We're enjoying the fresh air of this quaint town.

On our own cuttin' class for the thrill of it
We're playing hooky, enjoying the excitement of breaking rules.

Getting drunk on the past we were livin' in
We're getting intoxicated by the memories of our past.

Let's show them we are
Let's prove to others that we are better than they think.

We were staying in Paris (if we go down)
We were together in Paris during our fall, if it happens.

Let's show them we are better
Let's prove our strength and victory to others.

If we go down
If we don't succeed.

Let's show them we are better
Let's prove our strength and victory to others.

If we go down
If we fail.

Let's show them we are better
Let's prove our strength and victory to others.

Let's show them we are better
Let's prove our strength and victory to others.
