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
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
