Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I promise, I'm on it
When I'm bringing in the money
I promise, I'm on it
I'm gonna take you out to club showcase
We're gonna live it up
I promise
And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise, I'm on it
I'll find you that French boy
You'll find me that French girl
I promise, I'm on it
So go and pack your bags for the long haul
We're gonna lose ourselves
I promise
This time it's you and me for evermore
And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us

@riordanjet
One of those rare songs that's both madly euphoric and deeply sad at the same time. Masterpiece

"One day we're gonna live in Paris" ? Easy to say when you're one country over, not a whole ocean.
@oONodokaOo
I was born in Paris but this song is just TOO GOOD for Paris. I used to listen to this song a lot when I was an exchange student in Japan and It is more of a Tokyo song to me! It fits perfectly with the Tokyo atmosphere.
