“Paris” 30 second video tease
I wrote the song after visiting Paris for the first time. Driving in the cab on my way to the airport, I had a feeling I'd never encountered before upon leaving a new city: I wanted a life there, to escape from everything. The song hangs in the balance of that fantasy, wondering if it might ever become real. I know I'm not alone in this feeling and that many visitors, however frequent or new, have fallen in love with Paris in that way. The magnificence, mysterious and surreal feeling that Paris evokes; it's allure intoxicating.
“Paris”
music & lyrics by Lizzie Weber
Can we stay here forever?
Forget about time?
Salt on my skin
Cigarettes and red wine
Your hand in mine
Riverside, moonlight, kiss me while we train ride in Paris
Maybe in another life, you and I stay in Paris,
I said as we dined
Can we stay here forever
Tango in the streets
Un, deux, trois, un, deux, trois
Well I’ve never seen gardens of kings
Shall I be your queen?
Riverside, moonlight, kiss me while we train ride in Paris
Maybe in another life, you and I stay in Paris
Je ne quitterai jamais, je ne quitterai jamais Paris
C’est seulement toi pour la vie, embrasses moi, my love
I said as we dined
Can we stay here forever
By the seine and the moon
I’ve never been so content
Have you?
