Eve & Paradise Lost Lyrics by Bastille
I took the fall for us, babe
Never saw it as a debt
I got this gut feeling that somehow
Only I will pay for it
We gave into temptation
Shame came, we pulled on some clothes
I got this gut feeling I’ll shoulder
This fiction for us both
I will always take the fall for us
Though we both ate the fruit, my love
Though we both ate the fruit
When they say I was made for you
I love you so, but still it’s hard to get my head around it
When they say I was made from you
I bite my tongue and hope my heart can get its head around
Our paradise lost
Our paradise lost
So we hid there in that garden
Fruit was dripping down our chins
Who’d have known that I’d be carrying our babies and our sins
No one warned what it feels like
Had no mother, sister, friend
You said, “Calm down”, rolled your eyes at pain you’ll never comprehend
I will always take the fall for us
Though we both ate the fruit, my love
Though we both ate the fruit
When they say I was made for you
I love you so, but still it’s hard to get my head around it
When they say I was made from you
I bite my tongue and hope my heart can get its head around
Our paradise lost
Our paradise lost
Our paradise lost
Guess I’ll bear the cost
Our paradise lost
Guess I’ll bear the cost
