Lyrics

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly

and dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise

  • You deserve a million more views!!! I'm telling everyone I know right now!

  • @vasundhara4music If only everyone were like you! haha... thanks so much for sharing! It helps!

  • This is a sweet cover! What program did you use for the video to split it up on the same screen like that?

  • @pdalto8662 Thanks! I used Final Cut, you can check out the description to see all the equipment/programs I used to make it.

  • Mountain Dew? Are you after a sponsorship? :) seriously though, it's so great to see someone having fun and making covers that are sometimes even better than the originals at the same time. I'm off to record Band of Horses now, with your piano version fresh in my mind.

  • @kellykingism I wouldn't mind a sponsorship haha... so when will I get to see your Band of Horses cover?

  • how this video isn't everywhere is beyond me...

  • I only have one word for you: Amazing! 

  • @covertimeat10 By all means if you can figure out a way please do haha... No but you can get your friends to watch it and like it... that would be awesome.

  • @Xmike15 Thanks! It took a couple of days of recording the audio (whenever I had the chance), a solid half a day straight of filming, and a good three to four days of editing. So a long time haha.
