Heaven is closer now today The sound is in my ears I can’t believe the things you say They echo what I fear

Twisting the bones until they snap I scream but no one knows You say I’m familiar, cold to touch And then you turn and go

Feels like heaven Feels like heaven

See how we planned for saddened eyes And tears to pave the way I fought the fever as I knew My hair returned to gray

Study your face and fade the frame Too close for comfort now We can recall the harmony That lingered but turned sour

Feels like heaven Feels like heaven

You wanted all I had to give See me, I feel, see me, I live

Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer)

Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer)

Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer)

Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer)
