Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's been pretty simple so far

Vacation in Athens is calling me

And knock, knock, knock on wood

I thought I'd left you behind

[Verse 2]

Heaven is yours

Heaven is yours

Heaven is yours, where I live

[Verse 3]

I followed the catacombs

Left my soul at home

This letter never sent

[Verse 4]

And it's so dark, I'm so lost

[Verse 5]

Heaven is yours (Another story, it's another story for a while)

Heaven is yours, where I live (Someone show me)

[Verse 6]

When I'm moving too fast

Where's my new address?

[Verse 7]

The water is evening now

The catacombs are filling in

If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark

[Verse 8]

(And it's so far, it's so dark, I'm so lost)

(And it's so far, it's so dark, I'm so lost)

[Verse 9]

Heaven is yours (Another story, it's another story for a while)

Heaven is yours

Heaven is yours, where I live (Someone show me)

[Verse 10]

Heaven is yours (Another story, it's another story for a while)

Heaven is yours (It's another story)

Heaven is yours, where I live (Someone show me)
