Fell asleep on the night train Was dreaming of something a little more Lauryn preaching in my ears The type of shit that I can't ignore Before my heroes were using When MTV was playing music I fell in love with a sound Had to play it loud And I put my faith in a pile of crumpled papers I've promised myself I'd find the way That I won't look back This road I'm gonna follow No map on the dash 'Cause I already know, I already Foot down on the gas 'Cause we ain't promised tomorrow I'ma light the way with fire in my eyes I'm just a mile from paradise (Paradise, paradise, paradise) Just a mile from paradise (Paradise, paradise, paradise) Waking up on a airplane Moving around, where is my home? I ain't traveling with no names 'Cause some journeys are made alone People around me wasting their time Trying to tell me how to spend mine No regrets, I knew what I wanted all along And I've put, my faith in a pile of crumpled papers I've promised myself I'd find the way And that I won't look back This road I'm gonna follow No map on the dash 'Cause I already know, I already Foot down on the gas 'Cause we ain't promised tomorrow I'ma light the way with fire in my eyes I'm just a mile from paradise (Paradise, paradise, paradise) Just a mile from paradise (Paradise, paradise, paradise) At times, I feel like I've been swimming in the deep end But I promised mom a new house, on me she depends Learned the hard way the definition of fake friends But there's only so long people can pretend Looking left and right as I drive See familiar faces, passed out on the side Who bought the same ticket To the same ride at the same time But I'll be all right And I won't look back This road I'm gonna follow No map on the dash 'Cause I already know, I already Foot down on the gas 'Cause we ain't promised tomorrow I'ma light the way with fire in my eyes I'm just a mile from paradise (Paradise, paradise, paradise) Just a mile from paradise (Paradise, paradise, paradise) Just so you know (Paradise, paradise, paradise) Just so you know ♪ (Paradise, paradise, paradise) (Paradise, paradise, paradise)
