Paradise Songtext
von Snoh Aalegra

Fell asleep on the night train
Was dreaming of something a little more
Lauryn preaching in my ears
The type of shit that I can′t ignore
Before my heroes were using
When MTV was playing music
I fell in love with a sound
Had to play it loud
And I put my faith in a pile of crumpled papers
I've promised myself I′d find the way

That I won't look back
This road I'm gonna follow
No map on the dash
′Cause I already know, I already
Foot down on the gas
′Cause we ain't promised tomorrow
I′ma light the way with fire in my eyes


I'm just a mile from paradise
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)
Just a mile from paradise
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)

Waking up on a airplane
Moving around, where is my home?
I ain′t traveling with no names
'Cause some journeys are made alone
People around me wasting their time
Trying to tell me how to spend mine
No regrets, I knew what I wanted all along
And I′ve put, my faith in a pile of crumpled papers
I've promised myself I'd find the way

And that I won′t look back
This road I′m gonna follow
No map on the dash
'Cause I already know, I already
Foot down on the gas
′Cause we ain't promised tomorrow
I′ma light the way with fire in my eyes


I'm just a mile from paradise
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)
Just a mile from paradise
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)

At times, I feel like I′ve been swimming in the deep end
But I promised mom a new house, on me she depends
Learned the hard way the definition of fake friends
But there's only so long people can pretend
Looking left and right as I drive
See familiar faces, passed out on the side
Who bought the same ticket
To the same ride at the same time
But I'll be all right

And I won′t look back
This road I′m gonna follow
No map on the dash
'Cause I already know, I already
Foot down on the gas
′Cause we ain't promised tomorrow
I′ma light the way with fire in my eyes

I'm just a mile from paradise
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)
Just a mile from paradise
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)

Just so you know
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)
Just so you know
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)
(Paradise, paradise, paradise)
