Were getting close to paradise every moment of the day
Yes now were getting closer and closer
But not close enough
Were getting closer and closer
But not close enough
Wake in the mourning the sunshine burns
Cause you're far from what you thought you were
Your walking faster and faster but the days they an't slowing down
Don't you wish you could be there right now
Yes now were getting closer and closer
But not close enough
Were getting closer and closer
But not close enough
To paradise were promised there
To paradise were promised there
Hey lovely people down there let's fill that hole up in the sky
Don't be afraid to care I'm sure you'll find yourself there
Hey lovely people down there let's fill that hole up in the sky
Don't be afraid to care I'm sure you'll find yourself there
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
When you're down hold on hold on
I'm sure find yourself there
When your down hold on hold on
I'm sure find yourself there
Close close to paradise
