This Side of Paradise Lyrics

False start, ya sleepyhead
I'm caught in the day with my night dreams
And my mistakes

Tell your vision no, you're acting
The little boys go on pretending
They're wide awake

I'll settle on the dust, settle on the dust

But I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside of my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead

This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise

I'm not here nor anywhere
I wanna be with you, you're unaware
I'm a paperweight

I fantasize
A secret life and place where we hide
It feels right

I'll settle on the dust, settle on the dust

But I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside of my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead

This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

'Cause I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside of my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead

This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise

False start, ya sleepyhead
I'm caught in the day with my night dreams
And my mistakes

Tell your vision no, you're acting
The little boys go on pretending
They're wide awake

I'll settle on the dust, settle on the dust

But I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside of my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead

This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise

I'm not here nor anywhere
I wanna be with you, you're unaware
I'm a paperweight

I fantasize
A secret life and place where we hide
It feels right

I'll settle on the dust, settle on the dust

But I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside of my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead

This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

I don't wanna be anywhere else
Than anywhere else but here

'Cause I've got better luck in my head
We're just ghosts inside of my bed
I've got better luck in my head
Playing poker with the dead

This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise
This side of paradise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
