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”
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 with someone else”
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 how we are better (If we go down)
Let’s show them we are better (If we go down)
Let’s show them how we are better (If we go down)
Let’s show them we are better (If we go down)
Let’s show them how we are better (If we go down)
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are better
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 (If we go down)
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
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
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are better
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
Escaping and Embracing Togetherness
“Paris (VINAI Remix)” by The Chainsmokers reimagines the original hit with energetic, dancefloor-ready vibes. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people seeking freedom from their everyday lives, escaping to Paris to find solace in each other’s company. The repeated phrase, “If we go down then we go down together,” highlights a powerful sense of unity and shared rebellion. The song captures the spirit of youthful adventure, risk-taking, and the comforting bond of partnership, even in the face of uncertainty. The city of Paris becomes a metaphor for a romantic escape, a place where anything feels possible and where love can be a shelter from the world’s judgments.
