Prisoners In Paradise (europe) Lyrics

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 prisoners 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´s 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
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
We´re just children of
tomorrow
Hangin´ on to yesterday
