heaven from here

(albüm: in defense of my own happiness - 2021)

I hung my hat upon your shoulders
In this haunted house of shiver and stone
We lived here once, now we're strangers
We swept the floor and the door is closed
These wildflowers are overgrown
I hope tomorrow finds me
I hope this river rights me
Hope that I can make you understand

If you could see from where I'm standing
The cracks in the stained glass almost disappear
Memories so demanding
What made me sure of this don't seem so clear
I swear it looked heaven from here

Just terrified of getting older
'Cause no one goes with you to the other side
And every day we're getting closer
'Cause we don't know what waits in the morning light
We don't know what waits in the morning light
I hope tomorrow finds me
I hope this river rights me
Hope that I can make you understand

If you could see from where I'm standing
The cracks in the stained glass almost disappear
Memories so demanding
What made me sure of this don't seem so clear
I swear it looked heaven from here

Ooh, ooh
Just terrified of getting older
'Cause no one goes with you to the other side
