Paradise (GGG)

She takes it outside to read
Then on a chair in the alley she smooths out the pages
And she reads, "I am way beyond pretending
We're not more than friends, and this moment is losing its patience
But time is all there is

As it disappears, so I'm here to tell you what's true
Do you think about me like I think about you
Or is that just impossible too?
If that's all there is
Then let's call it quits, I won't be long living among strangers
And all that's left to do is be powerless too
And be crushed by the cavalry coming to save you
It's all there is

Nobody out there loves you like I do
So if you're thinking you're too bad, oh
Just know there ain't nothing out here like Miracle Woman
Well, I guess that is
This is not paradise, but I left for somewhere

I don't know if you remember
But I left that fucking bird shit van
Parked in front of the town square
What was it you were expecting?
Yeah, another fucking reason to do anything at all

I'm spinning out and I see
Everything dies and that's the way it's always been
And nothing's holding me
Everything dies and that's the way it's always been
I'm turning in circles, losing respect
Everything dies and that's the way it's always been
Everything is not okay
Everything dies and that's the way it's always been

So if you're thinking you're too bad, oh
Just know there ain't nothing out here like Miracle Woman
Well, I guess that is
This is not paradise, but I left for somewhere

I don't know if you remember
Yeah, I left that fucking bird shit
Van parked in front of the town square
I guess you could remember
Yeah, another fucking reason to do anything at all
