  • 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 played it

    And there's no remedy for memory
    Your face is like a melody
    It won't leave my head
    Your soul is haunting me
    And telling me that everything is fine
    But I wish I was dead (dead, like you)

    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 is like a melody
    It won't leave my head
    Your soul is haunting me
    And telling me that everything is fine
    But I wish I was dead (dead, like you)

    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-oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
    I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
    Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha-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 (so tell me)
    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-oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
    I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
    Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
    I don't wanna wake up from this tonight Writer/s: Elizabeth Grant, Rick Nowels
