Prisoners In Paradise
Julie's got the word todayShe lost her job just one last payLife don't come easy anymoreStill strugglin'on by herselfGot a picture of JimmyThere on the shelfAnd she looks at him and saysWhy did we let it go
I know that sometimes babyWe didn't see things eye-to-eyeBut I got just one questionDid we have to say goodbye
Just like prisoners in paradiseStill far from heaven's doorWe had it all but still weWanted moreNow I realize that I can'tTurn back the future's hereTo stay but heyWe're just children of tomorrowHangin' on to yesterday
Jimmy still recalls the nightWhen he took his guitarAnd headed on outTo find the big timeThat was his dreamHe gave up his pastAnd made it alrightBut there's something missin'In his heart tonightSometimes what you wantAin't what you need
He misses drivin' downTo the lake at nightHoldin' his babyIn his arms so tightAin't it hard to find illusionsWhen you're livin' in a memory
Just like prisoners in paradiseSo close but yet so farThere will come a timeNo matter who you areWhen you ask yourselfWas it right or wrongFor me to turn away but heyWe're just children of tomorrowHangin' on to yesterday
