lyrics

SOUTH OF HEAVEN

Short of intimate – that’s what we are
Just south of Heaven – we don’t make it that far
The conversation drifts away
I’d give my life to make you stay

South of Heaven – or so it seems
Each disappointment can’t diminish these dreams
You kiss my cheek and say good night
I watch until you’re out of sight,
So cinematic, so bitter sweet,
Her footsteps fade on an empty street

South of heaven – that’s what we are
Those constellations seemed so near now so far
Who turned the telescope around
And dropped the stars back on the ground?

No happy endings, no turning back
This whole love scene is beginning to crack
So cinematic, so bitter sweet
This star-crossed script is incomplete

But if I keep wishing on those stars
The planets will align
But they’re taking their time
And then there’ll be a rewrite of that last scene
And we’ll get to speak those lines
But they’re cutting it fine

Short of intimate – that’s what we are
Just south of heaven – we don’t make it that far
The conversations drifts away
I’d give my life if only you would stay

No happy endings, no turning back
This universe is beginning to crack
So cinematic, so bitter sweet
The credits roll on an empty street

Short of intimate – that’s what we are
Just south of Heaven – we don’t make it that far
The conversation drifts away,
I’d give my life to make you stay
