Paradis

What would I do in paradise
When you fall asleep next to me
If they give it to others, paradise
I wouldn't want it

They say to maintain a couple, you have to work on it every day
These idiots know nothing about love

As if I had to make an effort to listen to you
As if I had ever doubted
I would love your flaws if I ever manage to find any
Nothing has changed since our first 'I love you'
We've been together for seven years, but it feels like two weeks

Your pain is my pain, my life is yours
Your family and mine are the same
I left those bitches on the side of the road
I should be the one having doubts because you screw them all
I don't understand why you worry when you gain weight
For me, it's just more of you
You would be there if I started over
To remind me of the real things, to calm my neuroses

I had a little devil on my shoulder
Now I have your head on my shoulder

What would I do in paradise
When you fall asleep next to me

If they give it to others, paradise
I wouldn't want it

Our love is the only truth
Our children will make the Nazis want to have mixed-race children
Hand in hand, old and wrinkled
We'll remember the evenings we spent together
Smoking torn cigarettes
Dancing in the middle of the living room, you had work in two hours
Eyes soaked in alcohol, dressed up as a chopper
When you laughed at my lamest jokes
When we gave each other ridiculous nicknames
They say time destroys, but time is not our enemy

Because the more I know you, the more blessed I feel
Blessed enough to take you to church
Tell the priest: Forget the 'till death do us part' thing, we'll stay in this life
We'll have lots of children because that's all that matters
We'll sleep piled up like maxi monsters
I'll finally be able to settle down
The answer to all my questions falls asleep by my side

What would I do in paradise
When you fall asleep next to me
If they give it to others, paradise
I wouldn't want it
