Heaven is a Place
Amber Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tell myself I shouldn't go
A place where we could live together
Playing with fire, but certain we live forever
Heaven is a place like this
Four walls to hide within
A cold, cold world's medicine
I don't know when I started loving you
Now it's all that I can I do
Heaven is a place I know when I'm with you
'Cause heaven is a place I know
It's nothing like the TV shows
Cold and dark, still rains it snows
And all the lights have turned down low
Yeah, heaven is a place like this
An assembly of broken things
Never heard an angel sing
Where living doesn't feel like falling
I don't know when I started loving you
Now it's all that I can do
Heaven is a place I know when I'm with you
Just for moment
The briefest second
Paradise is just inside my reach
It's just for a moment
For the sweetest second
It's you and me
It's you and me
'Cause I don't know when I started loving you
Now it's all that I can do
Heaven is a place I know when I'm with you

Rainy days, coffee, Amber Run, Kodaline, The Lumineers, Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Jaymes Young and The NBH, The Script, Coldplay, Seafret, beautiful novels and the greenery surrounding me with earphones in, oblivious to the world so I can escape, only if for a few moments.
