Heaven
Julia Michaels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
Ooh
Love's my religion but he was my faith
Something so sacred so hard to replace
Fallin' for him was like fallin' from grace
All wrapped in one he was so many sins
Would have done anything, everything for him
And if you ask me I would do it again
No need to imagine
'Cause I know it's true
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
It's automatic
It's just what they do
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
You don't realize the power they have
Until they leave you and you want them back
Nothing in this world prepares you for that
I'm not ashamed that he wasn't the one
Had no idea what we would become
There's no regrets I just thought it was fun
No need to imagine
'Cause I know it's true
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
It's automatic
It's just what they do
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I still remember the moment we met
The touch that he planted, the garden he left
I guess the rain was just half that effect
No need to imagine
'Cause I know it's true
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
It's automatic
It's just what they do
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
The song "Heaven" by Julia Michaels is a heartfelt expression of the complicated emotions that come with falling for someone who may not be the best for you. The opening lines establish that the singer's love for this person is akin to a religion, a deep and profound faith. However, despite this, she acknowledges that there was something not entirely right about the relationship. Falling for him was like falling from grace, a reference to the Christian idea of sin and redemption.
The second verse further explores this idea, as she describes him as being "so many sins." Despite this, she was still willing to do everything for him, and she has no regrets. The chorus brings in the idea that bad boys bring heaven to you, even if they may not be good for you. She recognizes the power that he had over her and how she didn't realize it until he left, a common experience for those who have loved and lost.
The final verse reminisces about the moment they met and the feelings that came with it. Even though the relationship may not have ended well, she still remembers the good times with fondness. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on love, the complications that come with it, and the emotional power that it holds over us.
