I had this dream

Saw the world

But I didn’t realize

To be so free

Can leave you so alone

While I was gone

I’d think of you

And pray for a simple life

I’d fight the war

Get off the road

Come back to you

So close to heaven

But too far away

We'd be together

But you couldn't stay

We said forever

But never today

So close to heaven

Too far away

I packed a bag, said ‘goodbye,

Things will be different this time

I gave up a home

But made the flight

Now it’s been a year

And the days are so long

And I go out every night

Now I’m alone

And I’d give up this song

To get back to you

So close to heaven

But too far away

We'd be together

But you couldn't stay

We said forever

But never today

So close to heaven

Too far away

I’d give up myself

Give back these words

Give up my pride

Tear down these walls

And let you inside

So help me believe

So close to heaven

But too far away

We'd be together

But you couldn't stay

We said forever

But never today

So close to heaven

Too far away

So close to heaven

Is where we'll stay
