Paradise

Yesterday was somebody's birthday
And soon it's gonna be mine
I guess that's the one thing about age
You can't slow it down

Why do we keep walking in circles
We're always looking for signs
Nothing's ever gonna be perfect
So take a look around

I've been told I would know when I get there
I've been told I would know when it's right
I've been told that the grass isn't greener
On the other side

Are we still searching for that paradise?
It's been in front of us the whole time
Are we still searching for that paradise?
It's been in front of us this whole time

Close your eyes and what do you picture?
Does the scene come alive?
Feel the sand in between your fingers
Somewhere far away

Believing all the stories about it
Just along for the ride
You don't even know when you got it
On a silver plate

I've been told I would know when I get there
I've been told I would know when it's right
Always seems that the grass could be greener
On the other side

Are we still searching for that paradise?
It's been in front of us the whole time
Are we still searching for that paradise?
It's been in front of us this whole time

All we're looking for is
All we're looking for is
All we're looking for is
Ooh Paradise
All we're looking for is
All we're looking for is
All we're looking for is
Ooh Paradise

Are we still searching for that paradise?
It's been in front of us the whole time
Are we still searching for that paradise?
It's been in front of us this whole time
