We're getting close to paradise
Every moment of the day
Yes, now we're getting closer and closer
But not close enough

Yes, now we're getting closer and closer
But not close enough
Wake in the morning, the sunshine burns
'Cause you fall from where you felt you are
You're walking faster and faster
Oh, but the days they ain't slowing down
Don't you, don't you wanna be there, there right now

Yes, now we're getting closer and closer
But not close enough
Yes, now we're getting closer and closer
To paradise, we'll promise that
To paradise, we'll promise that

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 you'll find yourself there
When you're down, hold on
I'm sure you'll find yourself there
Close, close to paradise
