Blue Skies, Broken Hearts... Next 12 Exits Lyrics
Watching as the tide comes rolling in.
I miss the times when I looked into your eyes
A sacrifice I made for paradise.
are closer than they actually appear.

A song about sometimes you have to give up the things you love the most to get ahead in life.

wrong.....a song about makin tha wrong decision, wut is paradise without tha person dat u would wunna spend ur life wit?????

i agree wit pUnK e. paradise is crap.

paradise is non-existant, cause nothing can be truely perfect, paradise is a load of optimistic bullshit.

ummm...yeah...punk e...learn english, or some language other than the one you're trying to use. you may come off as intelligent if you do. and also, don't tell someone they're wrong. let people have their own opinions and meanings of songs.
and i agree with locust.

I think he just gave up something that he loved. He gave up staring into her eyes for something better maybe.

I feel he means, for whatever reason, he cannot be with his object of affection...he sacrificed something important in his life to be with her, and now shes just a memory :( sad

this song's about Kris Roe's move from New Jersy to Santa Barbara...he left someone behind there but now he thinks where he is is paradise

Loserkidgirl hit the nail on the head. Kris Roe had to leave a girl behind when he moved out to Santa Barbara

Except it wasn't new jersey, it was indiana. He had to leave behind Starla's mom...
