Testo Prisoners In Paradise (Europe) Europe
Julieôs got the word today
She lost her job just one last pay
Life donôt come easy anymore
Still strugglinôon 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 didnôt see things eye-to-eye
But I got just one question
Did we have to say goodbye
Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heavenôs door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I canôt
Turn back the futureôs here
To stay but hey
Weôre just children of tomorrow
Hanginô 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 thereôs something missinô
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Ainôt what you need
He misses drivinô down
To the lake at night
Holdinô his baby
In his arms so tight
Ainôt it hard to find illusions
When youôre livinô in a memory
Just like prisoners 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
Weôre just children of tomorrow
Hanginô on to yesterday
