Foster the People - Paradise State Of Mind

I don't wanna go home
'Til the light is coming out
My thoughts are slowly drifting back onto the grounds
And when I'm all alone
And my head is spinning out
Just waiting for your voice to pull me back into the clouds
Well, paradise lives in a state of mind
And the lines keep getting blurry 'cause we're all afraid of life
But my heart's alive
And it's bleeding out alone
I'm just sitting in my room, I can't stop staring at my phone

But I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
Yeah, I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
Oh, can you hear me now?

Stop trying to work out
Why something feels good and let it all in
Just need to stop trying to work out
Why something feels good to let it begin

It's a common thing
When the fear is speaking out
And to get caught in the pressure
Of the things that drag me down
But I want the truth
I keep searching for the proof
And distracted by the existential questions of my future

And I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
Yeah, I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
Oh, can you hear me now?

Just need to stop trying to work out
Why something feels good and let it all in, yeah
Just need to stop trying to work out
Why something feels good to let it begin

Yeah

Lift me up
Lift me higher up again
To leave all the madness of my thoughts
When all the words come rushing in
I need to be lifted up
Lift me higher up again
I want to walk in all my love
'Cause all my love for you is real
I want you to be lifted up
Lifted up
Lifted up, oh
Yeah, lifted up
Yeah, higher
Lifted higher
Yeah, higher
Lifted higher
Yeah, higher
Higher, oh
Higher
