Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I am down again
Maybe I am bleeding, bleeding
Maybe there is nothing left
But I'm still breathing, breathing
Like the water, I will find a way
Hold me close so I don't drift away

I'm gonna find paradise
Baby I, I've gotta try
I'm thinking 'bout somewhere in the sky
I'm thinking 'bout what it could be like
I'll let you know when I find
Paradise

Only when I close my eyes
Do I start seeing, seeing
Maybe what it could be like
To break through the ceiling, ceiling
Like the thunder, I will shake the day
I can only dream when I'm awake

I'm gonna find paradise
Baby I, I've gotta try
I'm thinking 'bout somewhere in the sky
I'm thinking 'bout what it could be like
I'll let you know when I find
Paradise
Paradise

(Paradise, I dare you to believe
There's a hope, there's a place that is greater than you and me
And when there's nothing left inside of me
I'll remember the place that is greater than you and me)

Paradise, I dare you to believe
There's a hope, there's a place that is greater than you and me
(Oh no) and when there's nothing left inside of me (nothing left in me)
I'll remember the place that is greater than you and me

I'm gonna find paradise (oh I'm gonna find)
Baby I, I've gotta try
I'm thinking 'bout somewhere in the sky
I'm thinking 'bout what it could be like
I'll let you know when I find
Paradise

The second verse continues the theme of hope and dreaming. Griff sings "Maybe what it could be like, to break through the ceiling, ceiling" indicating that she imagines a better life beyond her current struggles.
