Paradise Lost On Me

(album: The Comeback - 2021)

Another picture-perfect morning
Sun just sitting on the water
Carrying my cares out farther
Working 'em towards the blue
Yeah, me and the weatherman
Both got it easy
It's beautiful and breezy
Just like yesterday

But without you it's just sand
On sunburnt skin
It's a frozen margarita
Turning into water again
It's one lonely set of footprints
Down a snow-white beach
Yeah, without you
It's just paradise lost on me

I remember time stood still
Yeah, the first time I saw you
And I never knew angels
Even needed umbrellas
There was a love song in the air
Two hearts listening
Yeah, nothing went missing
It was a perfect day

But without you it's just waves
Trashing kids' castles
Like drifting in the wind
On a boat without a paddle
Yeah, you're my anchor
I'm a ship tossed at sea
Yeah, without you
It's just paradise lost on me

I searched every island
Up and down every coast
But couldn't find you in the sunsets
Feel you on the wind
So I came back where we started
Just to be close
And it's just salt in a wound
All over again and again

Yeah, without you it's just sand
On sunburnt skin
It's a frozen margarita
Turning into water again
It's one lonely set of footprints
Down a snow-white beach
Yeah, without you
It don't feel like paradise
Without you
It's just paradise lost on me
