P.S.- song lyrics in italics.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has to do with Instant Star or the song Almost Paradise by Ann Wilson andMike Reno.
Almost Paradise
thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cuz each time I got close
They'd fall apart again
His Dreams. His Heart. Put to the test.
How could one girl hold so much power over him?
Tensed under her touch. Melted in her eyes.
There was something wrong though.
She wasn't his.
I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh, how could I have known
That all my life I only needed you
He kept it a lie.
Her kisses, they weren't with him.
He felt the pain.
Masked it with years of experience.
Build up of heart breaks.
Plastered straight faces.
Heart kept in check.
This couldn't be healthy.
ALMOST PARADISE
We're knocking on heaven's door
ALMOST PARADISE
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
Gorgeous
Breathless
Speechless
Loveless
Until he snapped
Heart broke
Plaster chipped
Wall crushed
And he brought her in
And trapped her lips in his.
It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
You must've read my mind
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally comin' true
I'll share them all with you
'Now we hold the future in our hands
She didn't fight him
She knew she should
She didn't want to
It was perfect
He was perfect
Dream come true
Love at first sight
Heat beat faster
Lose control
Kind of love.
That's what it was; Love
Whoa-oa
ALMOST PARADISE
We're knocking on heaven's door
ALMOST PARADISE
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
Never let go
But she was with someone
It wasn't him
It couldn't be him
She wanted it to be
But it took him too long
If he didn't wait
If he wasn't such a coward
If he didn't learn to plaster on a fake smile
"It never happened
It never happened"
But what if it did?
Would they still be like this now?
Trapped
Behind the wall
Glass doors
Push
Pull
Nothing
He sealed them shut
Forever ago
3 years ago.
Sixteen to nineteen
Twenty-two to twenty-five
Why was it different now?
It should have been different then
Maybe then, it wouldn't have to be this way
And in your arms salvation's not so far away
We're getting closer, coser every day
But she didn't stop
She kissed him back
Screw the world
Screw her boyfriend
She belonged with him
The world stopped
It was them
Only them
Only them that mattered
Only them that ever mattered.
Whoa-oa
ALMOST PARADISE
We're knocking on heaven's door
ALMOST PARADISE
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
They stayed there
Forever in each others arms.
Only them
Only Jude
And only Tommy
It was paradise
Almost paradise
Paradise
