One Step From Paradise
Danger Danger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We live like strangers playing for time
Both of us reaching out for something
Hiding our feelings afraid what we'll find
Someday I know we'll find the answer

If it takes a little time, it doesn't really matter
Don't throw it all away cause we're
One Step From Paradise
So close and still so far away
One Step From Paradise
Together we'll find Paradise someday





Lost in the shadows, we search for a light
Hoping the candle burns forever

The chorus expresses the idea that they are close to paradise, but not quite there yet. Together they'll keep searching for that perfect place of happiness and fulfillment.


The lines about being lost in the shadows suggest an inability to see clearly or figure out what to do next. The hope for a lasting light implies a longing for stability and security. The singer in the song recognizes that even though they are one step away from paradise, there are still obstacles to overcome. The overarching theme of the song is the importance of perseverance in relationships, and the hope for a brighter future despite the struggles of the present.
