Lost in Paris
Tom Misch [feat. GoldLink] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)
Lost in Paris

I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory that I can't replace
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

It was over in day
All the things I used to say
You've kept the same
All the place we would go
All the songs we got know
You held it all

I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory that I can't replace
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

Well, young young, all in love in a lost place
Gettin' down, get me runnin' round in a rat's race
Save grace
But I fell in love with her small waist
Uh, let me start, left, right ya, ah
Bang, shot me, kept my heart and it hurt 'cause
She's so fly like a dove that's a dove face
Doesn't know what she'll get now
But there's in her birthplace
Tom, don't tell her but it's Paris for her birthday

I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory that I can't replace
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory that I can't replace
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

I hope that you're warm and safe




The memory that I can't replace
But you're lost in Paris (you're lost in Paris)

@menamesjames

I love all the little things which tom misch adds throughout his songs. Always some interesting and unexpected melodies sprinkled throughout. It just makes his music so much more interesting than a lot of music out there.
