We're walking close to Paradise
And more than other days
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
But not close enough
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
But not close enough
Waking morning sunshine burns
'Cause you fall from where your felt you are
And you're running faster and faster
Oh, but the days they ain't slowing down
And don't you, don't you wanna be there, there right now
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
But not close enough
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
To Paradise
We'll promise that
To Paradise
We'll promise that
Hey lovely people down there
Let's fill that hole up in the sky
Don't be afraid to care
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
Hey lovely people down there
Let's fill that hole up in the sky
Don't be afraid to care
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
When you're down, hold on
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
When you're down, hold on
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
Close, close to Paradise
And more than other days
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
But not close enough
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
But not close enough
Waking morning sunshine burns
'Cause you fall from where your felt you are
And you're running faster and faster
Oh, but the days they ain't slowing down
And don't you, don't you wanna be there, there right now
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
But not close enough
Yes, I'm walking closer and closer
To Paradise
We'll promise that
To Paradise
We'll promise that
Hey lovely people down there
Let's fill that hole up in the sky
Don't be afraid to care
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
Hey lovely people down there
Let's fill that hole up in the sky
Don't be afraid to care
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
When you're down, hold on
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
When you're down, hold on
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
Close, close to Paradise
