Lyrics

Heaven

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Will you recognise me

In those flashing lights?

I try to keep my heartbeat

But I can't get it right

Will you recognise me

When I'm lying on my back?

Something's gone inside me

And I can't get it back

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wake up with good intentions

But the day, it always lasts too long

Then I'm gone

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wait with good intentions

But the day, it always lasts too long

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Will you recognise me

When I'm stealing from the poor?

You're not gonna like me

I'm nothing like before

Will you recognise me

When I lose another friend?

Will you learn to leave me

Or give me one more try again?

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wake up with good intentions

But the day, it always lasts too long

Then I'm gone

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wait with good intentions

But the day, it always lasts too long

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wake up with good intention

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wake up with good intention

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wake up with good intention

You say that you're away

I try but always break

'Cause the day always lasts too long

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone
