Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my friends tell me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean singing your song
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
That's how you sing it
Loving you forever can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
That's how we played it
[PreChorus]
And there's no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me
That everything is fine, but I wish I was dead
Dead like you
[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
[Verse 2]
All my friends ask me why I stay strong
Tell 'em when you find true love, it lives on
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
That's why I stay here
[PreChorus]
And there's no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me
That everything is fine, but I wish I was dead
Dead like you
[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
[PostChorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, aha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, aha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
[Bridge]
There's no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I'm fine
[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
[PostChorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, aha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, aha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
