Just Like Paradise Lyrics

The whole city is sleeping

Not me, I'm wide awake

Lookin' down at the lights

Man, there's people down there livin' a life

Makes mine look like paradise

I see you standing in the porch light

Sad and waving goodbye

There behind the screen door

On a summer night

And me behind the wheel of that old black Ford

The one we drove into the ground

Pedal to the floor, tryin' to give it more

Tryin' to break away from that town

Now here I am and

The whole city is sleeping

Not me, I'm wide awake

Lookin' down at the lights

Man, there's people down there livin' a life

Makes mine look like paradise

Just like paradise, just like paradise...

We were driving through a rainy night

Your face lit up in the passing headlights

And I could see that you were far away

Dreaming of another time and place

That's when it hit me

It's the things you love the most

You end up pushing away

And it ain't the times you lose

It's the dreams coming true

That make you most afraid

The whole city is sleeping

Not me, I'm wide awake

Lookin' down at the lights

Man, there's people down there livin' a life

Makes mine look like paradise

The whole world seems so small

From up here high above the street

Lookin' down at the light

And my troubles fade into the night

Like the lights into eternity
