The Chainsmokers – Paris lyrics
[Verse 1: Andrew Taggart]
We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
And I thought "Wow, if I could take this in a shot right now
I don't think that we could work this out"

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andrew Taggart]
Out on the terrace
I don't know if it's fair but I thought "How could I let you fall by yourself
While I'm wasted for someone else"

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & unconfirmed artist]
If we go down then we go down together
They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

[Verse 2: Andrew Taggart]
We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
And you're so proud standing there with the flower and the cigarette
Posting pictures of yourself on the internet

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andrew Taggart]
Out on the terrace
I don't live in the area of this small town
On our own couldn't pass for the thrill of it
Getting drunk on the bus we were living in

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & unconfirmed artist]
If we go down then we go down together
They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better


[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart & unconfirmed artist]
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are better
We were staying in Paris
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are
Let's show them we are better

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & unconfirmed artist]
If we go down then we go down together
They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

[Bridge: Andrew Taggart & unconfirmed artist]
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
Let's show them we are better
We were staying in Paris

[Outro: Andrew Taggart & unconfirmed artist]
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

    This song has a double to me and probably most percy jackson fans that have read heroes of olympus Mark of Athena aka book five. the other meaning it has to me is it reminds me of when percy and annabeth are falling into tartarus. The reason for this is because the lyrics of the song say "If we go down, then we go down together" Percy could have gotten away and not fallen with her, but he said "You're not getting away from me. Never again.'' And they fell together. OH i Love that part! (I know it is sad but its so sweet)!! The song itself Just kind of reminds me of Percy and Annabeth in the first place. I mean, the rest of the lyrics don't really remind me of their relationship, but just kind of the vibes of the song. I was wondering if it was just me, but the comments on the said similar things. I sent this song to my friends who have also read Percy Jackson/ Heroes of Olympus and asked them if they thought the song reminded them of percabeth and they did too. This song is sooo good and it is actually one of my favorite songs............... (:
