Prisoners In Paradise (Single Edit)

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?
 Oh, just like prisoners in paradise
 Still far from heaven's door
 Yeah, 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
 ♪
 Well, Jimmy still recalls the night
 When he took his guitar
 And headed on out
 To find the big time
 Yeah, 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, oh
 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, oh-oh, yeah, yeah
 ♪
 Prisoners in paradise, mhm
 Prisoners in paradise, yeah, yeah
 We're just prisoners in paradise
 Still far from heaven's door
 Yeah, 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
 "Was it right or wrong for me to turn away?"
 But hey, we're just children of tomorrow
 Hangin' on to yesterday
