Paris
Friendly Fires ft. Au Revoir Simone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day we're gonna live in Paris
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
Just hold on a little more

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

I love 3:51 when the voice from the original song overimposes onto hers. I hope we all get to go to Paris and listen to this song as we take in our surroundings. ✨

Haunting vocals. Tells a better story than most movies with atmosphere alone.
