Things Aren’t Nice In Paradise

[Intro]
I wanna go back in time, now I'm feeling this

[Verse 1]
Happiness is a moment, flickering like a light
Comes and goes like a shadow and it's driving me wild
Happiness is a heartbreak, uppercut to the face
Never know what I'm in for or if I'm feeling brave

[Pre-Chorus]
Opinions come like visions in the night
Filling up the corners of my mind
Twenty-five came fast, can I rewind?

[Chorus]
Back to you and me
Dancin' through the city like a wildfire
Electric memories
Runnin' from the rulers of the empire
If we could turn the hands of time, I would do it
We had everything, but we never knew it
Things ain't nice out here in paradise
So, baby, leave the light on

[Verse 2]
Part of me is a lightweight, easily overwhelmed
In my head, it's a horror when I'm not doing well
Heaviness is an anchor, keeping me from the sun
Glistening at the bottom, missin' out on fun

[Pre-Chorus]
Opinions come like visions in the night
Ripping through the hole inside my mind
Twenty-five came fast, can I rewind?

[Chorus]
Back to you and me
Dancing through the city like a wildfire
Electric memories
Runnin' from the rulers of the empire
If we could turn the hands of time, I would do it
We had everything, but we never knew it
Things ain't nice out here in paradise
So, baby, leave the light on

[Bridge]
Things ain't nice in paradise
Things ain't nice in paradise

[Chorus]
Bring me back to you and me
Dancing through the city like a wildfire (Oh)
Electric memories
Runnin' from the rulers of the empire (Oh)
If we could turn the hands of time, I would do it
We had everything, but we never knew it
Things ain't nice out here in paradise
So, baby, leave the light on
