YESTERDAY'S HEAVEN

CLOSE TO YOUR HEAVEN
IS WHERE I WANT TO BE
EVERY TIME I LOCK MYSELF IN
YOU GO AND SET ME FREE

I'm all lost in questions now that we are through 
they say understanding is all a point of view
so I pick up the pieces trying to find a clue
yet there were no easy answers, as far as I knew
just trying to forget that our love was ever true
but I can not pretend as well as you seem to do

AND CLOSE TO YOUR HEAVEN
IS WHERE I WANT TO BE
EVERY TIME I LOCK MYSELF IN
YOU GO AND SET ME FREE

Everything seemed to fit us like a perfect pair
we walked together, people would stop and stare
learned a thing or two about how to love and care
and we held each other through good and despair
the world was far below us as we walked on air

but from all of that, there's nothing left to spare

AND CLOSE TO YOUR HEAVEN
IS WHERE I WANT TO BE
EVERY TIME I LOCK MYSELF IN
YOU GO AND SET ME FREE

No sooner am I up, you knock me down again
and I don't know why you wanna do me in
If I could I would erase away yesterday
And if I had my way with the strings of destiny
If I had a way to say what I never did say
I guarantee you'd still be right here with me


AND CLOSE TO YOUR HEAVEN
IS WHERE I WANT TO BE
EVERY TIME I LOCK MYSELF IN
YOU GO AND SET ME FREE
