Behind The Door

HEAVEN KNOWS

Oh, heaven knows

Where the lonely people go

I've been searching for a reason

In a place I'll never know

Verse 1

I saw the sunlight through the curtains

Like a promise from above

I've been trying to find a purpose

In a world that calls it love

And I've been talking to the angels

But they never say a word

Maybe heaven has been listening

To all the things it never heard

Pre-Chorus — layered vocals begin

Oh, won't you tell me

Where the good things go?

I've been holding on to pieces

Of a life I'll never know

Chorus — powerful vocals, choir harmonies

If heaven's got a door

Why am I still on the floor?

I've been giving all I've got

But somehow it still isn't enough

Oh, carry me away

To somewhere I can stay

If love is all we ever had

Why does it hurt so bad?

Verse 2 — soulful, restrained

There's a photograph beside me

Of a time before the fall

And I wonder if you miss me

Or if you don't think at all

I've been looking for the morning

In the middle of the night

Trying to convince my reflection

That everything's alright

Bridge — choir builds, emotional vocals

And if the stars come crashing down

Would you still be around?

If I lost everything I knew

Would there still be me and you?

Ohhhhh

Would you still know my name?

Final Chorus — full instrumental

If heaven's got a door

I don't wanna hide no more

I've been searching all my life

For a little bit of paradise

Oh, carry me away

Let the darkness turn to day

If love is all we ever had

Then maybe that's not so bad

Outro — piano and fading choir

Heaven knows

Heaven knows

I was only trying to find my way home.
