Show me the magic
I must have lost it somewhere
In my dream so far away
I turn around
Everything's changing but me
Where is the soul in my song
(chorus)
Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies
Somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
And out of the blue
Temptation's all around me
A train came along and I got on board
I danced with the darkness
Skies were the limit
But it's such a long way to fall
Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies
Can somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
And I've done my time in paradise
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
Could somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
Is there anything left inside me
Anything left here at all
When am I gonna slow down
To the rhythm of a simple life
Somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
And I've done my time in paradise
And I've tried it all maybe once or twice
But somehow the grass was always greener
On the other side
(repeat chorus)
I've tried it all and I paid the price
Now I've gotta find my way back
To a simple life
