Things Aren’t Nice In Paradise

Lyrics

[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
