All my friends tell me I should move on I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song Ah, that's how you sing it Loving you forever, can't be wrong Even though you're not here, won't move on Ah, that's how we play it And there's no remedy for memory your face Is like a melody, it won't leave my head Your soul is hunting me and telling me That everything is fine But I wish I was dead Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side All my friends ask me why I stay strong Tell 'em when you find true love it lives on Ah, that's why I stay here And there's no remedy for memory your face Like a melody, it won't lift my head Your soul is hunting me and telling me That everything is fine But I wish I was dead Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight Oh oh oh, ha ha ha I don't wanna wake up from this tonight Oh oh oh, ha ha ha I don't wanna wake up from this tonight There's no relief, I see you in my sleep And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me There's no release, I feel you in my dreams Telling me I'm fine Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you But that there's no you, except in my dreams tonight Oh oh oh, ha ha ha I don't wanna wake up from this tonight Oh oh oh, ha ha ha I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
