"Heaven" lyrics

"Heaven"

I've been waiting
On a saviour
That never came but
I still pray when you come round
A false God
Commemorated
We made our own bed
And when we lay here
Heaven's undone

Called you from a payphone last night
Vision doubled like the last ten times
I was too fucked up to see
That you're the only one around when the AM was hitting three
You hit the speed
It was the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

I was never a believer
Til you got me on my knees
I don't believe in salvation
But you salvaged what was left of me
The broken bones
The cried on shoulders
You told me
Heaven is a love that we call home

Waiting on a saviour
That never came but
I pray when you come round
A false God
Commemorated
We made our own bed
Lay here, heaven's undone

All the years that I spent waiting, Lord knows he tests my patience
But when you wrap me up in your body
That's the closest that I get to holy
They don't know what we're feeling
We don't practice the way they preach it
But loving you is the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

I was never a believer
Til you got me on my knees
I don't believe in salvation
But you salvaged what was left of me
The broken bones
The cried on shoulders
You told me
Heaven is a love that we call home
