Fast Towards Heaven
from Dream Arcade – EP by Dream Arcade
lyrics
I’m hurtling fast towards heaven
I’m listening to you breathe
I’m looking over your shoulder
Like somebody’s watching me
You won’t be alone forever
Cursing behind clenched teeth
Shaking like it’s December
Under the cold, damp sheets
And even now my blood thickens
Whenever I hear her name
I think of the lonely miles
And everything I can’t change
And I’m looking through all her pictures
I’m wishing that I were there
Is it possible to recover
The memories we don’t share?
I don’t care
(I still believe)
It’s better to leave behind
Will I ever tell her why?
It’s better that I don’t try
Is she even home tonight?
It’s better to leave behind
I can’t believe again
(I still believe)
It’s better to leave behind
Will I ever tell her why?
It’s better that I don’t try
Is she even home tonight?
It’s better to leave behind
Is it really better, baby?
Is it really better to say goodbye?
But I’m hurtling fast towards heaven
I’m watching you as you sleep
I wish that I could have touched you
The way that you feel in dreams
But I’m holding a burning candle
Hoping that the light won’t die
I’m feeling the rough rain falling
I’m walking alone tonight
I’m listening to you breathe
I’m looking over your shoulder
Like somebody’s watching me
You won’t be alone forever
Cursing behind clenched teeth
Shaking like it’s December
Under the cold, damp sheets
And even now my blood thickens
Whenever I hear her name
I think of the lonely miles
And everything I can’t change
And I’m looking through all her pictures
I’m wishing that I were there
Is it possible to recover
The memories we don’t share?
I don’t care
(I still believe)
It’s better to leave behind
Will I ever tell her why?
It’s better that I don’t try
Is she even home tonight?
It’s better to leave behind
I can’t believe again
(I still believe)
It’s better to leave behind
Will I ever tell her why?
It’s better that I don’t try
Is she even home tonight?
It’s better to leave behind
Is it really better, baby?
Is it really better to say goodbye?
But I’m hurtling fast towards heaven
I’m watching you as you sleep
I wish that I could have touched you
The way that you feel in dreams
But I’m holding a burning candle
Hoping that the light won’t die
I’m feeling the rough rain falling
I’m walking alone tonight
