Prisoners in Paradise

朱莉今天被辭退，
Julies got the word today
拿到最後一份工資，
She lost her job just one last pay
生活變得更加困難，
Life dont come easy anymore
她仍獨自苦苦掙扎。
Still strugglin on by herself
看著架上吉米的照片，
Got a picture of Jimmy
There on the shelf
她喃喃自語：
And she looks at him and says
“為什麼當初我們就這麼算了，
Why did we let it go
雖然有時意見不合，
I know that sometimes baby
We didnt see things eye-to -eye
可我一直很困惑，
But I got just one question
我們非得分手嗎？”
Did we have to say goodbye
就像天國的囚徒，
Just like prisoners in paradise
通往天堂的大門還如此遙遠，
Still far from heavens door
擁有一切卻還想獲得更多。
We had it all but still we wanted more
事已至此，
Now I realize that I cant turn back
我知道無法挽回。
The futures here to stay but hey
我們總在期盼著未來，
Were just children of tomorrow
卻又對過去無法釋懷。
Hangin on to yesterday
吉米仍記得當晚，
Jimmy still recalls the night
當他拿起吉他，
When he took his guitar
頭也不回地遠走，
And headed on out
為了追尋
To find the big time
成功的夢想，
That was his dream
拋棄以往，
He gave up his past
一切慢慢好轉。
And made it alright
然而今夜心中若有所失，
But theres something missin
In his heart tonight
有時你想要的
Sometimes what you want
非你所需。
Aint what you need
他懷念那夜驅車到湖邊，
He misses drivin down to the lake at night
緊擁愛人在懷。
Holdin his baby in his arms so tight
一旦沉溺在記憶中，
Aint it hard to find illusions
無處不是幻想。
When youre livin in a memory
就像天國的囚徒，
Just like prisoners in paradise
近在咫尺卻又如此遙遠。
So close but yetso far
不管你是誰，
There will come a time
總會有機會。
No matter who you are
當你反身自問，
When you ask yourself
離開是對是錯，
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away but hey
只不過是在期盼著未來，
Were just children of tomorrow
卻又對過去無法釋懷。
Hangin on to yesterday
天國的囚徒，
Prisoners in paradise
天國的囚徒，
Prisoners in paradise
我們就像天國的囚徒，
Were just prisoners in paradise
通往天堂的大門還如此遙遠，
Still far from heavens door
擁有一切卻還想獲得更多。
We had it all but still we wanted more
我們就像天國的囚徒，
Were just prisoners in paradise
近在咫尺卻又如此遙遠。
So close but yet so far
不管你是誰，
There will come a time
總會有機會。
No matter, no matter who you are
當你反身自問，
When you ask yourself
離開是對是錯，
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away but hey
只不過是在期盼著未來，
Were just children of tomorrow
卻又對過去無法釋懷。
Hangin on to yesterday
