Lyrics
Two Steps away from Paradise
Nothing really matters cause I can't have you
These streets are like a desert
I feel the wind cut me in two
Tonight I'm on the outside
And I feel so alone
It's like watching an old black and white movie
about a guy who's lost his way home
I've never felt this way
I get down on my hands and knees and pray
I'm two steps away from paradise
And I hold in my heart what I must sacrifice
I'm tempted and tortured
But I can't give in
Cause I'm two steps away from paradise
I got a nervous kind of devil
Playing games with my heart
He's laughing out loud at my state confusion
While tattooed angel stands by her mark
You're everywhere that I go
I can't hide in the dark what I need to show
Chorus
I touch myself and I can't let go
Holding on till I explode
When Close my eyes and smell your skin
I lie awake at night alone
With dreams my head my heart can't hold
To this kind of love I must give in
I stood outside her window
and watched the shadows play hide and seek
I felt the ground shaking
I could not walk I could not breath
All of my words came out wrong
I was stopped in my tracks by the angle's arms
I'm two steps away from paradise
And I hold in my heart what I must sacrifice
I'm tempted and tortured
But I can't give in
Cause I'm two steps away from paradise
