CHASING PARADISE

In my head I had vision of paradise

Heaven in the distance I can’t describe

Thought it would be different when I arrived

So beautiful but pretty lies

The sunrise from my apartment

Is that what I really wanted

Didn’t think it’d be this lonely

Looking at it closely

Wish somebody told me

Chasing paradise

Only gets you so far

Easy to go blind

Looking up at the stars

If I’d go back in time

I’d enjoy the ride

On the other side

Don’t forget where you are

Chasing paradise

Only gets you so far

Never trust your eye

Half as much as your heart

The finer things in life

Always lose their shine

Chasing paradise

Don’t forget where you are

It all looks good in pictures but isn’t true

Even I’m deceived by my point of view

Yeah everything’s amazing the sky is blue

But the part of me that’s hurting

It’s hard to lose

Chasing paradise

Only gets you so far

Easy to go blind

Looking up at the stars

If I’d go back in time

I’d enjoy the ride

On the other side

Don’t forget where you are

Chasing paradise

Only gets you so far

Never trust your eye

Half as much as your heart

The finer things in life

Always lose their shine

Chasing paradise

Don’t forget where you are

The sunrise from my apartment

Is this what I really wanted

Didn’t think I’d be this lonely

Kind of miss the old me

Don’t know why I don’t leave
