|
Hmm yeah |
|
Julie's got the word today |
|
She lost her job just one last pay |
|
Life don't come easy anymore, no |
|
Still strugglin' on by herself |
|
(I'm strugglin') |
|
Got a picture of Jimmy there on the shelf |
|
And she looks at him and says, "Why did we let it go there?" |
|
I know that sometimes baby |
|
We didn't see things eye to eye |
|
But I got just one question |
|
Did we have to say goodbye? |
|
Oh just like prisoners in paradise |
|
Still far from Heaven's door |
|
Yeah we had it all but still |
|
(Oh oh oh oh) |
|
We wanted more |
|
(Oh) |
|
Now I realize that I can't turn back |
|
(Oh oh) |
|
The future's here to stay |
|
(Oh oh oh) |
|
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow |
|
Hangin' on to yesterday |
|
Whoa yeah |
|
Aah! |
|
Well, Jimmy still recalls the night |
|
When he took his guitar and headed on out |
|
To find the big time, yeah, that was his dream |
|
He gave up his past and made it alright |
|
But there's somethin' missin' in his heart tonight |
|
Sometimes what you want ain't what you need, no no |
|
He misses drivin' down to the lake at night |
|
Holdin' his baby in his arms so tight |
|
Ain't it hard to find illusions |
|
When you're livin' in a memory |
|
Oh just like prisoners in paradise |
|
So close but yet so far |
|
There will come a time |
|
(Oh oh oh oh) |
|
No matter who you are |
|
(Oh) |
|
When you ask yourself was it right or wrong |
|
(Oh oh) |
|
For me to turn away? |
|
(Oh oh oh) |
|
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow |
|
Hangin' on to yesterday |
|
Woah whoa yeah yeah |
|
Prisoners in paradise |
|
Ooh |
|
Prisoners in paradise |
|
Yeah yeah |
|
We're just prisoners in paradise |
|
Still far from Heaven's door |
|
Yeah we had it all but still |
|
(Oh oh oh oh) |
|
We wanted more |
|
(Oh) |
|
We're just prisoners in paradise |
|
So close but yet so far |
|
There will come a time |
|
(Oh oh oh oh) |
|
No matter, no matter who you are |
|
(Oh) |
|
When you ask yourself was it right or wrong |
|
For me to turn away? |
|
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow |
|
Hangin' on to yesterday |
