Intro
Verse 1
Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road,
Where The Windows Look Warmer, And The Burden Seems Light.
Distance Can Paint Any Place, Make It Softer And Bright,
So, Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road.
Verse 2
For Paradise Lives Where, The Roots Have Grown.
Not In The Distance... In Someone Else’s Home,
So, Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road.
Verse 3
Where Another’s Foundation, Has Already Been Laid.
The Table Is Set For A Story, Already Made,
So, Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road.
Verse 4
To Wish For That Threshold, Is To Step Past A Claim
No Lasting Peace Grows, From A Trespass Of Shame
So, Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road.
Verse 5
When The Cost Of The Crossing Is Heavier Than It Seems
One Single Step Can Unravel So Many, Many Dreams
So, Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road.
Verse 6
Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road
But Wanting What Is Guarded Can Only Make One Less Strong
One Should Never Be, Where One Does Not Belong
So, Don’t Go Mistaking Paradise For That Home Across The Road.
Outro
One Should Never Be, Where One Does Not Belong
Paradise Won’t Be Found ... In That Home, Across The Road
