O.A.R. - Heaven Lyrics

I’m underneath it all tonight
out my window there’s a million lights
a thousand hearts feeling just like me
man, it feels like heaven out here in the street

I know i got a lot to learn
breaking bottles only left me hurt
played with fire till i burned myself
don’t you know that love’ll bring us somewhere else

so you take the left, I’ll take the right
under arrest, we’re under fire
oh, oh, oh, oh
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in
you take the low, I’ll take the high
you lock the gate, i hear the choir
everybody got a problem with the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

maybe i should take my time
and build this life by my own design
with no direction and it’s in between
everything i love, and everything i need

so bring it back
all i want is understanding
to live my life the way that i planned it
wouldn’t change a thing
man, it feels like heaven underneath my feet

so you take the left, I’ll take the right
under arrest, we’re under fire
oh, oh, oh, oh
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in
you take the low, I’ll take the high
you lock the gate, i hear the choir
everybody got a problem with the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

so raise em up, raise em up
all i ever wanted was a shot at your love
i know and i believe
everything we got is everything we need
love’ll get you higher
it set my heart on fire
i know it’s what you see
don’t wanna go to heaven if they don’t want me

cause I’m no criminal
I’m not your enemy
all i have is life
and i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

so you take the left, I’ll take the right
under arrest, we’re under fire
oh, oh, oh, oh
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in
you take the low, I’ll take the high
you lock the gate, i hear the choir
everybody got a problem with the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

raise em up, raise em up
everything you wanted is inside your cup
drink up
love will get you higher

oh, I’m not your enemy
i never met no criminal
and in the end I’d do it again
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i cant get in

oh, I’m not a criminal
yeah I’m no enemy
it’s just the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i cant get in
