Briston Maroney largely grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee. In August 2013, at age 15, Maroney tried out for the 13th season of American Idol at one of its audition bus stops in Knoxville. He was then selected to audition in front of the American Idol judges in Salt Lake City. There, he sang a version of The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" on an episode that aired in January 2014.

Paradise
Briston Maroney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no time to waste in conversation
Kings and queens of a sun tan generation
Generally working hard and needing
A p paid vacation
Around the sun one hundred times
And they want explanation
Sun-soaked sinners trying not to get caught
Well, let me tell you something
When you get to my age
Love is all you got so I
Mean it when I say that
Honestly I wanna give you every little
Part of me and if the tide comes back
And takes me with it, I hope you know
It's not love if you can't let go
And I know I'm never gonna give you
Only part of my ever-loving laughing
If the stars don't fade over paradise island
It's never gonna die if we do or die trying
How easy would it be to
Put the nine-to-five behind
A sandcastle royalty and seven
Seas of heaven shining?
Don't you find a calming world a
Little scared to dive in?
Might sing but imagine if we end up swimming
The sun soaks in
It's trying not to lose touch
Relax, rewind, no rush but
Let me tell you something
When you get to my age
Loving is the only thing
That's never gonna change, oh
'Cause honestly I wanna give
You every little
Part of me and if the tide comes back
And takes me with it, I hope you know
It's not love if you can't let go
And I know I'm never gonna give you
Only part of my ever-loving laughing
If the stars don't fade over paradise island
It's never gonna die if we do or die trying
Honestly I wanna give you every little
Part of me and if the tide comes back
And takes me with it, I hope you know
It's not love if you can't let go
And I know I'm never gonna give you
Only part of my ever-loving laughing
If the stars don't fade over paradise island
It's never gonna die if we do or die trying
