Busted lips and cigarettes
Nights and days I won't forget
Sleeping on my best friend's floor
Everything to ask for
Clear skies and sing-alongs
I ask myself "What could go wrong?"
A thousand times i would go back
You'd only have to ask

Come with me I'll take you there to a place
Where we don't have to care
We'll sit and watch the world go by
Welcome to my paradise

Sleeping in and alchohal
crowded city streets
Flashing lights, shattered dreams
A paradise it seems

Take my hand and follow me to a better place
A place I call my home sweet home
A place I call my own

Come with me I'll take you there to a place
Where we don't have to care
We'll sit and watch the world go bye
Welcome to my paradise

    General Comment:Alex said in an interview once that this was one of their first songs and that it was probably the worst song they've ever written because it has no real meaning.
    He said its mostly just about teen angst and wanting to get away from it.
    I disagree with him saying its their worst song, i love it.
    (:

    General Comment:This song does not appear on any ALL TIME LOW album and it never can because the music was written by original guitarist TJ Ihle and he won't give them permission to use it. Tj Ihle now plays in an acoustic punk band called The Pizza Monsters.

    General Comment:I think it's about this guy wanting to show someone their paradise, where they go to have fun and be free.
    kinda reminds me of Christie Road by Green Day.

    But yeah it could easily be about some sort of musical festival as well.
