Prisoners In Paradise Europe lyrics

Julies got the word today
She lost her job just one last pay
Life dont come easy anymore
Still strugglinon 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 didnt 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 heavens door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I cant
Turn back the futures here
To stay but hey
Were 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 theres something missin
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Aint what you need

He misses drivin down
To the lake at night
Holdin his baby
In his arms so tight
Aint it hard to find illusions
When youre 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
Were just children of tomorrow
Hangin on to yesterday
