[English]

My love (My love)

My lover, lover, lover

I'm in paradise whenever I'm with you

My mind (My mind)

My m-m-m-m-mind

Well it's a paradise whenever I'm with you

Ride on (Ride on)

I will ride on down the road

I will find you, I will hold you, I'll be there

It's long (How long?)

It's a mighty long road

But I'll find you, I will hold you, and I'll be there

I know you heard it from those other boys

But this time, it's real

It's something that I feel and

I know you heard it from those other boys

But this time, it's real

It's something that I feel and

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

My time (My time)

My t-t-t-t-time

Well it's a never ending helter skelter

We'll be out whatever the weather

My heart (My heart)

My boom-boom heart

It's a beat and it's ah-thumping

And I'm alive

I know you heard it from those other boys

But this time, it's real

It's something that I feel and

I know you heard it from those other boys

But this time, it's real

It's something that I feel and

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

Paradise, roll on, roll on

Meet me there, roll on, roll on

Paradise, roll on, roll on

Meet me there, roll on, roll on

Paradise, roll on, roll on

Meet me there, roll on, roll on

Paradise, roll on, roll on

Meet me there, roll on, roll on

Paradise, roll on, roll on

Meet me there, roll on, roll on

Paradise, roll on, roll on

Meet me there, roll on, roll on

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

I know you heard it from those other boys

But this time, it's real

It's something that I feel and

I know you heard it from those other boys

But this time, it's real

It's something that I feel and

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

You know it's love heading your way

Key Grammar Structures

• I'm in paradise whenever I'm with you

  ➔ Present simple (state) + adverbial clause of time with "whenever"

  ➔ The verb "'m" (am) shows a present state. The clause "whenever I'm with you" expresses a repeated condition.

• I will ride on down the road

  ➔ Future simple with modal "will" + base verb

  ➔ The modal "will" marks a decision or intention: "will ride" means the speaker intends to ride.

• But I'll find you, I will hold you, and I'll be there

  ➔ Future simple with contractions; parallel structure

  ➔ "I'll" = "I will". The three clauses share the same tense, creating a parallel list: "find", "hold", "be".

• It's a mighty long road

  ➔ Copular verb "be" + adjective phrase (predicative complement)

  ➔ "It's" = "It is". The predicate "a mighty long road" describes the subject.

• If it feels like paradise running through your bloody veins

  ➔ First conditional (present simple in "if" clause) + result clause omitted

  ➔ "If" introduces a condition. "it feels" is present simple, showing a real or likely situation.

• You know it's real

  ➔ Present simple + object clause with zero complementizer (that omitted)

  ➔ "You know" is present simple. The clause "it's real" functions as the object; the word "that" is understood but omitted.

• We will be out whatever the weather

  ➔ Future simple + concessive clause introduced by "whatever"

  ➔ "We will be out" predicts a future action. "Whatever the weather" means ‘no matter what the weather is’.

• Paradise, roll on, roll on

  ➔ Imperative mood (command/request)

  ➔ "Roll on" is a direct command addressed to "Paradise" (personified). No subject is expressed.

• I know you heard it from those other boys

  ➔ Present simple + past simple in object clause (sequence of tenses)

  ➔ "I know" is present. The embedded clause "you heard it" uses past simple because the hearing happened earlier.
