Paradise, summer school and oceans blue Stealin out, nights on the beach We lived our lives, as if the moment couldnt last Now those summer days slippin out of reach Only seventeen, she lookin good, shes a young mans dream Theres a whole wide world a-waitin if she wants it Packin up a suitcase, the summers nearly over And her hometown seems so small Same old names and faces, she doesnt need them anymore (Chorus) Lonely years, she wanna leave them behind Lonely years in the back of her mind Lonely lonely years Its all too late (all too late) All too late (all too late) If she could live them again, would she still do The same? I dont know * She dont know-know-know.* Shes livin in a fools paradise The lights have faded, the photographs have turned to brown The famous final scene, lies on the cutting-room floor Words have been wasted, you believed every single Little white lie that they wrote The drug has been tasted It can only leave you wanting more and more (CHORUS - Not *) (SOLO - PAUL) (CHORUS)
