Prisoners In Paradise

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
