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
I tear down these walls
And let you inside
So help me believe
So close to heaven
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
Too far away
So close to heaven
You wouldn't stay
So close to heaven
Too far away
So close to heaven
Is where we'll stay
