CHASING PARADISE

[Intro]
In my head I had a vision of paradise
Heaven in the distance, l can't describe
Thought it would be different when l arrived
So beautiful, but pretty lies

[Verse 1]
The sunrise from my apartment
Is that what l really wanted?
Didn't think I'd be this lonely
Looking at it closely
Wish somebody told me

[Chorus]
Chasing paradise only gets you so far
Easy to go blind looking up at the stars
If I'd go back in time, I'd enjoy the ride
On the other side, don't forget what you are
Chasing paradise only gets you so far
Never trust your eye half as much as your heart
The finer things in life always lose their shine
Chasing paradise, don't forget what you are

[Verse 2]
It all looks good in pictures but isn't true
Even I'm deceived by my point of view
Yeah, everything's amazing, the sky is blue
But the part of me that's hurting
It's hard to lose

[Chorus]
Chasing paradise only gets you so far
Easy to go blind looking up at the stars
If I'd go back in time, I'd enjoy the ride
On the other side, don't forget what you are
Chasing paradise only gets you so far
Never trust your eye half as much as your heart
The finer things in life always lose their shine
Chasing paradise, don't forget what you are

[Outro]
The sunrise from my apartment
Is this what l really wanted?
Didn't think I'd be this lonely
Kind of miss the old me
Don't know why I don't leave
