Just Like Paradise by Larry John McNally The whole city is sleeping not me I'm wide awake Looking down at the lights Man, there's people down there living 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 Trying to give it more Trying to break away from that town Now here I am and The whole city is sleeping not me I'm wide awake Looking down at the lights Man there's people down there living a life Makes mine look like paradise Just Like Paradise Just Like Paradise yeah, yeah, yeah oh, oh Just like paradise yeah, yeah 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 Thats when it hit me it's the things you love the most That you end up pushing away And it ain't the times you lose It's the dreams coming true That makes you most afraid yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah The whole city is sleeping not me I'm wide awake Looking down at the lights Man, there's people down there living a life Makes mine look like paradise The whole world seems so small from up here High above the streets looking down at the lights And my troubles fade into the night Like the lights into eternity into eternity Just like paradise Yeah, yeah, yeah
