Closer To Heaven (feat. Gregory Porter)

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've built an empire

On a beach of shifting sand

To see the walls go down so fast

I thought it was the end

Thought I was close to living

But never close to free

I was looking for a high I could not find

Until you came down to me

Oh, what a blessing

For a heart that's always drifting

I was lost for so long

Thought that part of me was gone

And the love that you were giving

Was the something I was missing

So goodbye to sad songs and

Hello to moving on

Now the hell that I was livin' is through

I'm closer to Heaven when I'm with you

I want to be a little closer

Come a little bit closer, baby

I've jumped in the fire

To watch the flames turn blue

There's just something in your smile that drives me wild

And makes me come back to you

When I sail my ship on the sea of loneliness

You're the lighthouse that shows me where love is

Oh, what a blessing

For a heart that's always drifting

I was lost for so long

Thought that part of me was gone

And the love that you were giving

Was the something I was missing

So goodbye to sad songs and

Hello to moving on

Now the hell that I was livin' is through

I'm closer to Heaven

Closer to Heaven when I'm with you

As a sinner and a saint and my own worst enemy

You make it easy to be the man I want to be

Oh

Oh, what a blessing

For a heart that's always drifting

I was lost for so long

Thought that part of me was gone

And the love that you were giving

Was the something I was missing

So goodbye to sad songs

And hello to moving on

Now the hell that I was livin' is through

I'm closer to Heaven

Closer to Heaven when I'm with you

I want to be a little closer

Come a little bit closer, baby
