Paradise

(album: There Will Be Sunshine - 2014)

Fell asleep on the night train
Was dreaming of something a little more
Lauryn preaching in my ears
The type of shit that I can't ignore
Before my heroes were using
When MTV was playing music
I fell in love with a sound
Had played it loud
And I put my faith in a pile of crumpled papers
I promised myself I'd find the way

And that I won't look back
This road I'm gonna follow
No map on the dash
Cause I already know, I already
Foot down on the gas
Cause we ain't promised tomorrow
I'ma light the way with fire in my eyes

I'm just a mile from Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
I'm just a mile from Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise

Waking up on a on a airplane
Moving around, where is my home?
I ain't traveling with no names
Cause some journeys are made alone
People around me wasting their time
Tryna tell me how to spend mine
No regrets
I knew what I wanted all along
And I've put my faith in a pile of crumpled papers
I've promised myself I'd find the way

And that I won't look back
This road I'm gonna follow
No map on the dash
Cause I already know, I already
Foot down on the gas
Cause we ain't promised tomorrow
I'ma light the way with fire in my eyes

I'm just a mile from Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
I'm just a mile from Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise

At times I feel
Like I've been swimming in the deep end
But I promised mom a new house
On me she depends
Learnt the hard way
The definition of fake friends
But theirs only so long people can pretend
Looking left and right as I drive
See familiar faces
Passed out on the side
Who bought the same ticket
To the same ride at the same time
But I'll be all right

And that I won't look back
This road I'm gonna follow
No map on the dash
Cause I already know, I already
Foot down on the gas
Cause we ain't promised tomorrow
I'ma light the way with fire in my eyes

I'm just a mile from Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
I'm just a mile from Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
