If nobody tries that hard
Do you still have to fall apart?
Nobody plays that card but you
My body fades away
But my mind just stays the same
Nobody lies the way you do

I'm allowed to waste part of my day
Getting high and running late
Holding on to my younger ways
When time was long and nothing changed

5am paradise, morning air
Someone take me back to the start again
We’ll get it right then walk away
Never have to ask you to lie
5am paradise
Lie, 5am paradise

Remember an old friend say
You’re gonna miss these days
So slow down and let it play, if I were you
Or maybe the feelings changed
Did all things stay the same?
Or is it a different pace from them?

You’re allowed to waste part of your day
Getting high and running late
Holding on to your younger ways
When time was long and nothing changed

5am paradise, morning air
Someone take me back to the start again
We’ll get it right then walk away
Never have to ask you to lie
5am paradise
Lie, 5am paradise

Never have to ask you to lie
5am paradise
Lie, 5am paradise
Lie, 5am paradise
Lie, 5am paradise
