Description

It's a song by French-Canadian pop punk band Simple Plan, featuring Sean Paul.

The song was inspired by Bouvier's hobby of surfing, which is an important part of his life. He told: "I've spent a lot of time out there when the surf is not that great and you're waiting for a wave, just sitting on the water seeing dolphins and seals go by, taking in a beautiful sunset. I think about music a lot and have probably thought about some lyrics out there. Also this song called "Summer Paradise" on the album has got that beautiful vibe that I can probably attribute to going on surf trips."

Transcript

I gotta find my way back,
back to summer paradise,
Sean Paul, Simple Plan.

My heart is sinking
As I'm lifting up
Up above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do.
But someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand.

'Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye, yeah
Singing la-la-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
(Quick time, quick time girl)
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
(Quick time, quick time girl)
Oh-oh
(Tell 'em)

My soul is broken
Streets are frozen
I can't stop these feelings melting through
And I'd give away a thousand days, oh
Just to have another one with you
(Baby girl)

Well, real life can wait
(It can wait)
I'm crashing like waves
(Yeah)
Playing in the sand
(Me and you girl)
Holding your hand
Yeah yeah
(Make some noise)

'Cause I remember every sunset
(I remember)
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you, yeah
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
(Quick time, quick time gir)l
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
(Quick time, quick time girl)
Oh-oh

The promises that we made to about our friends,
Thinking about it shineshine under trees,
Summer time on the beach,
Of fine we get closer under them trees,
Baby girl, you really got to me
It's 3 o'clock, and were together and the time doesn't leave
In a heartbeat girl, sex on the beach,
Don't stand your world, ask me im rich,
Loving you girl, is the best part of me.

Someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand
(Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back!)

Cause I remember every sunset
(I remember)
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
(No way!)
Singing la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
(Back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
Yeah, and I'll be there in a heartbeat.

I remember where we first kissed
(I remember)
How I didn't wanna leave your lips
And how I've never ever felt so high
(So high)
Singing La-la-ta-ta-ta
So tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
Yeah, and I'll be there in a heartbeat
(Quick time, quick time girl)
