Things Aren't Nice In Paradise

(album: Chasing Nirvana - 2023)

I wanna go back in time now I'm feeling this...

Happiness is a moment
Flickering like a light
Comes and goes like a shadow
And it's driving me wild
Happiness is a heartbreak
Uppercut to the face
Never know what I'm in for
Or if I'm feeling brave

Opinions come like visions in the night
Filling up the corners of my mind
25 came fast, can I rewind?

Back to you and me
Dancing through the city like a wildfire
Electric memories
Running from the rulers of the empire
If we could turn the hands of time, I would do it
We had everything but we never knew it
Thing aren't nice out here in paradise
So baby leave the light on

Part of me is a lightweight
Easily overwhelmed
In my head it's a horror
When I'm not doing well
Heaviness is an anchor
Keeping me from the sun
Glistening at the bottom
Missing out on fun

Opinions come like visions in the night
Ripping through the hole inside my mind
25 came fast, can I rewind?

Back to you and me
Dancing through the city like a wildfire
Electric memories
Running from the rulers of the empire
If we could turn the hands of time, I would do it
We had everything but we never knew it
Thing aren't nice out here in paradise
So baby leave the light on

Things aren't nice in paradise
Things aren't nice in paradise

Bring me back to you and me
Dancing through the city like a wildfire
Electric memories
Running from the rulers of the empire
If we could turn the hands of time, I would do it
We had everything but we never knew it
Thing aren't nice out here in paradise
So baby leave the light on
