[Verse 1]
I think heaven has a corner
Its street is dark blue like a night like this
And your head is on my shoulder
And I’m singing you a song like this.
And I want to live here forever.
[Chorus1]
Heaven is the moonlight on your collarbones
The little street that leads to your house
The steps, the door, the room where I can’t go
Heaven is the place I watch you get in
As I stay in my car and weep.
I think I am going to miss it
When I get back on the plane to leave
I think I’m going to think about this moon
And your head lying on my shoulder like this.
And I want to live here forever.
[Bridge]
Twenty-one candles lighting up
The faces of your sisters and dad
While some idiotic pop star sing s
The songs he wrote about you
At home your brand-new books
Wait for you on your bed
Along with the memories you never made
And photos of a mom you never knew
And I’m not your boyfriend,
Am I at least your friend? Hated word.
Hated word
Hated word
Hated word
Heavenward
Heavenward
[Chorus 2]
I don’t think I have Greek blood in me
But you’ve made me into a poet, I swear, cause
Heaven is the moonlight on your collarbones
The little street that leads to your house
The steps, the door, the room where I can’t go
Heaven is the place I watch you get in
As I stay in my car and weep.
Oooooh ooooh
Oooh ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Ending]
You said you didn’t want this
Baby, I heard you loud and clear
But I carried your books
and I met you in our woods
Once upon a time, remember?
So forgive me and forgive me
If I, if I can’t help myself
Forget myself and hate myself
And count this as a date.
And I want to live here forever.
