Heaven
Health Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I needed you to, I knew you'd go
Everyone would sit and they'd try, they'd try to stop me
But you loved it when I learned to just let it go
Making a joke of my past mistakes
Do it again in a brand new way
Laying my heart out
So you could just poke around
And I don't really wanna talk about everything we've been talking bout, no
I don't really wanna talk about anything at all
Where'd you go when I told you no?
Where'd you go when I told you so?
Where'd you go when I told you no?
Where'd you go, love, where'd you go?
Are we ever gonna get there?
Will it ever make too much sense?
When we gonna get there and where we gonna go?
Where'd you go when I told you no?
Where'd you go when I said so?
Where'd you wanna go?
Heaven only knows, Heaven only
And would you even show?
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
(Heaven only)
Where'd you wanna go?
Heaven only knows, Heaven only
(Heaven only)
And would you even show?
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
(Heaven only)
Little miss mysterious, yeah you got me curious
Wondering why you'd want me around
Little miss mysterious, yeah you got me curious
Oh, look at you! New girl in town!
You wanna play me just like everybody else
Little miss break your heart
I knew you would not come around
I just knew from the start
Where'd you wanna go?
Heaven only knows, Heaven only
And would you even show?
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
(Heaven only)
Where'd you wanna go?
Heaven only knows, Heaven only
(Heaven only)
And would you even show?
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
(Heaven only)
The lyrics of Health's song "Heaven" explore themes of love, vulnerability, and the fear of being hurt in a relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Where'd you go" suggests a sense of longing and confusion about the whereabouts and intentions of the person being addressed. The singer acknowledges that every time they reach a certain level of intimacy or vulnerability, the person they care about seems to withdraw or become distant.
The lyrics also express a fear of opening up and being judged for past mistakes. The lines "Making a joke of my past mistakes, Do it again in a brand new way" suggest a pattern of self-deprecation and a fear of being vulnerable because of the fear of being laughed at or criticized. The line "Laying my heart out, so you could just poke around" reflects a sense of frustration and possibly feeling exploited or taken advantage of in the relationship.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Heaven only knows," suggests that despite the desire for answers and clarity, the singer is ultimately left in the dark about the intentions and feelings of the other person. The uncertainty and lack of control in the relationship create a sense of emotional turbulence and confusion.
Overall, "Heaven" is a reflective and introspective song that delves into the complexities of love, vulnerability, and the unpredictable nature of relationships.
