Heaven Faced
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.
I could walk out, but I won’t
In my mind I am in your arms
I wish someone would take my place
Can’t face heaven all heavenfaced
No one’s careful all the time
If you lose me, I’m gonna die
How completely high was I?
I was off by a thousand miles
Hit the ceiling, then you fall
Things are tougher than we are
I could walk out, but I won’t
In my mind I am in your arms
I wish someone would take my place
Can’t face heaven all heaven faced
Let’s go wait out in the fields with the ones we love
Let’s go wait out in the fields with the ones we love
Let’s go wait out in the fields with the ones we love
Let’s go wait out in the fields with the ones we love
She’s a griever, my believer
It’s not a fever, it’s a freezer
I believe her, I'm a griever now
She’s a griever, my believer
It’s not a fever, it’s a freezer
I believe her, I'm a griever now
Because we’ll all arrive in heaven alive
We’ll all arrive
Because we’ll all arrive in heaven alive
We’ll all arrive
