I read it in a magazine I don't wanna see it again I threw away the magazine And looked for someone to explain I don't wanna look back I can't look around I don't wanna see it coming round Listen to the ups and downs Listen to the sound they make Don't be scared when it gets loud When you're skin begins to shake 'Cause you don't wanna look back You gotta look tall You gotta see those creeps crawl I know you know I know you know I can see you've got the blues In your alligator shoes Me, I'm all smiles I got my crocodiles I don't wanna look back I can't turn around I don't want to see it coming down Met someone just the other day Said wait until tomorrow I said, hey what you doing today He said, I'm going to do it tomorrow Met someone just the other day Said wait until tomorrow I said, hey, what you doing today I'm going to do it tomorrow

I didn't know that she was dancing right beside me I only noticed when she asked me so politely "Could you play my favourite song?" Latchin' on to all the words that I was singing It wasn't hard to feel the heat that she was bringing But she was stringing me along We danced the night away She told me she would stay the night at my place But in the morning I called to say You left some clothes last night And I wonder who you are And I wonder are you far You left, still on my mind And I'll never feel the same Didn't even catch your name She was drinking me underneath the table Tried to keep up when I knew I wasn't able She told me "practice what you preach" Then she kissed me when I wasn't expecting Didn't think that it would go in that direction I guess it's time for us to leave We danced the night away She told me she would stay the night at my place But in the morning I called to say You left some clothes last night And I wonder who you are And I wonder are you far You left, still on my mind And I'll never feel the same Didn't even catch your name You left some clothes last night And I wonder who you are And I wonder are you far You left, still on my mind And I'll never feel the same Didn't even catch your name

When I was four, I fell off my bike But you told me I'd be okay When I was five, you were by my side When Mama was far away And when I was ten, you were my best friend When no one else came to play "If anyone hits you, you hit back harder" That's what you'd always say And you'd say, "Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh" It's been a long, long day Are we in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven? 'Cause I don't feel pain I guess that this is Heaven, Heaven And if you're far away We're still together, 'gether, 'gether And if I never prayed I guess that we're in Heaven, Heaven Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh As we got older, you never smiled And I know it's because of him Oh, you carried that pain more than any child should Buried under your skin Remember that time when I lost my voice And they said I would never sing? Well, now you've got a kid, I'm with Ed on tour In cities, I've never been And you'd say, "Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh" And you'd say, "Hold my hand, I'll be your brother wherever you go" It's been a long, long day Are we in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven? 'Cause I don't feel pain I guess that this is Heaven, Heaven And if you're far away We're still together, 'gether, 'gether And if I never prayed I guess that we're in Heaven, Heaven Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Now we've grown up and you've built that love You've got your own family And maybe one day when I build my own I'll remember you said to me It's been a long, long day Are we in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven?

Endless nights, a shot across the bows You take the high road once again And I'll take the lows I see the sadness in your eyes now And it's difficult to swallow (it's difficult to swallow) Packed your bags, got out before the slope Asked you to stay for one more night But that just rock the boat I know I should've done the math, but it's still hard to let you go Well, I know I'm not the only one To fall for all the lies That we were living in a house of cards So, I can't be surprised when I'm Waking up in a sea of sadness And I won't make it a force of habit Maybe, in a year or so, I'll be able just to laugh at it But for now, I spend my nights wishing we could just go back to it Better half, that's what I thought you were Path of glory, same old story "Time's a thief", I've heard You can hold the smoking gun, but I'll still shoot the messenger Sea of sorrows, you wiped it off my cheek See you tomorrow, that's time borrowed for another week I can't stand beside you now if you don't really want me Well, I know I'm not the only one To fall for all the lies That we were living in a house of cards So, I can't be surprised when I'm Waking up in a sea of sadness And I won't make it a force of habit Maybe, in a year or so, I'll be able just to laugh at it But for now, I spend my nights wishing we could just go back to it I remember we were once in love Remember we were once in love I hope that when you think of us You'll remember it the way it was I hope that when you're missing me You're missing what we used to be I hope that when you're falling down You'll remember how I stuck around And I hope the way you look me up You'll remember we were once in love (We were once in love) You'll remember we were once in love (We were once in love) Remember we were once in love Waking up in a sea of sadness And I won't make it a force of habit Maybe, in a year or so, I'll be able just to laugh at it But for now, I spend my nights wishing we could just go back to it
