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
and i put my faith in a pile of crumpled papers
i promised myself i'd find the way
and that i won't look back
this road i'm gonna follow
cause we ain't promised tomorrow
i'ma light the way with fire in my eyes
i'm just a mile from paradise
i'm just a mile from paradise
waking up on a on a airplane
i ain't traveling with no names
cause some journeys are made alone
people around me wasting their time
tryna tell me how to spend mine
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
cause we ain't promised tomorrow
i'ma light the way with fire in my eyes
i'm just a mile from paradise
i'm just a mile from paradise
like i've been swimming in the deep end
but i promised mom a new house
the definition of fake friends
but theirs only so long people can pretend
looking left and right as i drive
who bought the same ticket
to the same ride at the same time
and that i won't look back
this road i'm gonna follow
cause we ain't promised tomorrow
i'ma light the way with fire in my eyes
i'm just a mile from paradise
i'm just a mile from paradise
