Europe – Prisoners in paradise Lyric

Julie's got the word today she's lost her job just one last pay
life don't come easy anymore
still struggling 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
yea we had it all but still we wanted more
now I realize that I can't turn back the future's here to stay
we're just children of tomorrow hanging on to yesterday

Well 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 missing in his heart tonight
sometimes what you want ain't what you need no no

He misses driving down to the lake at night
holding his baby in his arms so tight
ain't it hard to find illusions when you're living 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 hanging on to yesterday
Prisoners in paradise prisoners in paradise yea yea

We're just prisoners in paradise still far from heaven's door
yea we had it all but still we wanted more
we're just prisoners in paradise so close but yet so far
there will come a time no matter no matter who you are
when you ask yourself is it right or wrong for me to turn away
but hey we're just children of tomorrow hanging on to yesterday
