Lyrics

[00:11.72] I want to learn how to fly
[00:14.93] I want to be respected
[00:18.93] I want to get lucky
[00:20.39] I want to get out of this dump
[00:22.03] I just want to watch TV
[00:23.06] I want to be loved
[00:24.74] I want to be different
[00:26.08] I want a brother and sister
[00:27.79] I'd just rather be forgotten
[00:29.35] I want to save the world
[00:30.59] I want to be understood
[00:32.11] I want to be rich
[00:33.43] Man, I just want to be somebody
[00:35.30]
[01:27.52] Julie's got the word today
[01:30.07] She lost her job just one last pay
[01:34.05] Life don't come easy anymore
[01:40.09] Still strugglin'on by herself
[01:43.21] Got a picture of Jimmy
[01:45.13] There on the shelf
[01:46.67] And she looks at him and says
[01:49.11] Why did we let it go
[01:51.38]
[01:54.14] I know that sometimes baby
[01:56.74] We didn't see things eye-to-eye
[02:00.08] But I got just one question
[02:03.55] Did we have to say goodbye
[02:06.23]
[02:08.13] Just like prisoners in paradise
[02:11.89] Still far from heaven's door
[02:15.20] We had it all but still we
[02:18.19] Wanted more
[02:22.06] Now I realize that I can't
[02:24.65] Turn back the future's here
[02:27.15] To stay but hey
[02:30.25] We're just children of tomorrow
[02:33.93] Hangin' on to yesterday
[02:36.82]
[02:49.36] Jimmy still recalls the night
[02:52.58] When he took his guitar
[02:54.21] And headed on out
[02:56.66] To find the big time
[02:58.55] That was his dream
[03:02.53] He gave up his past
[03:04.30] And made it alright
[03:05.79] But there's something missin'
[03:07.58] In his heart tonight
[03:09.86] Sometimes what you want
[03:12.06] Ain't what you need
[03:13.87]
[03:15.87] He misses drivin' down
[03:17.51] To the lake at night
[03:19.17] Holdin' his baby
[03:21.43] In his arms so tight
[03:23.31] Ain't it hard to find illusions
[03:26.07] When you're livin' in a memory
[03:29.69]
[03:30.63] Just like prisoners in paradise
[03:34.34] So close but yet so far
[03:37.73] There will come a time
[03:39.73] No matter who you are
[03:44.45] When you ask yourself
[03:46.35] Was it right or wrong
[03:48.24] For me to turn away but hey
[03:52.79] We're just children of tomorrow
[03:56.37] Hangin' on to yesterday
[04:31.07] Just like prisoners in paradise
[04:37.32] Just like prisoners in paradise
[04:43.29] Just like prisoners in paradise
[04:46.79] Still far from heaven's door
[04:50.27] We had it all but still we
[04:53.35] Wanted more
[04:56.55] Just like prisoners in paradise
[05:00.30] So close but yet so far
[05:03.90] There will come a time
[05:05.74] No matter who you are
[05:10.49] When you ask yourself
[05:12.30] Was it right or wrong
[05:14.25] For me to turn away but hey
[05:19.02] We're just children of tomorrow
[05:22.42] Hangin' on to yesterday
