Heaven
Written March 8th, 2016
Set fire to the rain
Gasoline and symmetry
Watch the flames rise over dewdrops
Hear my horn part the sea
On days with low visibility
Mile horizons comfort me
When clouds can incubate my history
If I gave everything up
Count to one hundred ninety three
One for every mile
That I'm away from heaven
Would you still love me
If I gave everything up
Could I take you, take you with me
You've taken another piece of me
Made me give everything up
You say it's payment to feel free
If freedom comes in yellow paint
Then swerve in one, two, three
"The closest thing to heaven
Is what you mean to me
You really won't mind heaven
Just hope you're dying to see me"
