Prisoners In Paradise歌词

Julie's got the word today she lost her job just one last pay
Life don't come easy anymore
Still strugglin' on by herself got a picture of jimmy there on the shelf

And she looks at him and says why did we let it go
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?

Just like prisioners in paradise

Still far from heaven's door

We had it all but still we wanted more

Now i realize that i can't turn back the future here to stay

But hey we're just children of tomorrow

Hangin' on to yesterday

Jimmy still recalls the night when he took his guitar and headed on out

To find the big time that was his dream

He gave up his past and made it alright
But there's something missin' in his heart tonight

Sometimes what you want ain't what you need

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

Just like prisioners in paradise

So close but yet so far

There will come a time no matter who you are

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
