Under A Rest - The Other Side of Paradise

When I was young and stupid my love
Left to be a rock and roll star
He told me "please don't worry"
Wise little smile that spoke so safely

He booked a one way ticket
Out west that's where they make it
I try to keep my cool but
My life turns in slow motion

Bye bye baby blue
I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
Screaming at the sun you blow into
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Fingers in a fist like you might run
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Superparadise I held on to
But I settle for a ghost

I know you don't but I
I know you don't but I still try
My thunder shook him down
My thunder came and shook him down
I feel so fucking numb
It hits my head and I feel numb
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong

(Bye bye) baby blue
I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
Screaming at the sun you blow into
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Fingers in a fist like you might run
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Superparadise I held on to
But I settle for a ghost
