Heaven is You
Joshua Bassett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That there's a place that we would go if we were good
Some destination we could never get a taste of
Not as long as we're still living in this world
But lately, I've been questioning my faith
Just one look at you is all it really takes
Oh
I always heard there was a heaven
I never knew if it was true
But darlin', ever since I met you
I know that heaven is you
Heaven is you
Heaven is you
I always thought that what's been broken can't be bought
And now I'll never not be running from my past
To think that I could be deserving of an angel
Didn't cross my mind 'til you fell in my lap
And I'm not one to fall in love too fast
Oh, but something tells me this one's gonna last
Oh
I always heard there was a heaven
I never knew if it was true
But darlin', ever since I met you
I know that heaven is you
Heaven is you
Heaven is you
You're all I'll ever want
You're all I'll ever need
You're all I've ever dreamed of having
I always heard there was a heaven
I never knew if it was true
But darlin', ever since I met you
I know that heaven is you
Heaven is you
Heaven is you
In Joshua Bassett's song "Heaven is You," the singer takes on the topic of faith and love. He mentions how our parents have told us about a place we go to when we die if we are good, and it's a place we cannot experience until we leave this world. Joshua, however, is questioning his faith in heaven and perhaps the afterlife. However, he also sings about how meeting his loved one makes him feel differently about the existence of heaven. He says that just one look at this person is all it takes to know that heaven is them.
The lyrics highlight the fact that the love between two people can feel like heaven on Earth. It becomes a destination that they reach and feel a deep connection with. Joshua sings that having someone so amazing by his side makes him believe that he is deserving of an angel. It seems like he is personally connecting love and faith, and believing that both heavenly things are interconnected.
Overall, "Heaven is You" is a heartfelt and moving song that talks about finding love and how it can change our beliefs and ideas about heaven. Joshua's vocals and music beautifully convey the emotions of the lyrics, and the song becomes a powerful testament to the importance of love in our lives.

Our parents told us when our time on Earth is up
That there's a place that we would go if we were good
Some destination we could never get a taste of
Not as long as we're still living in this world
Our parents have always told us about a place where we'll go after we die if we've been good in this life. But since we're still alive, we can never really experience this unknown place.
But lately, I've been questioning my faith
Just one look at you is all it really takes
Oh
Recently, I've been doubting my belief in the concept of heaven. However, when I look at you, I realize that heaven exists and it's you.
I always heard there was a heaven
I never knew if it was true
But darlin', ever since I met you
I know that heaven is you
Heaven is you
Heaven is you
I've always heard of heaven, but never knew if it was real. However, ever since I met you, I now know that you are my heaven, and everything I'll ever need or want in life.
I always thought that what's been broken can't be bought
And now I'll never not be running from my past
To think that I could be deserving of an angel
Didn't cross my mind 'til you fell in my lap
I always thought that I couldn't fix the broken parts of me, and that I would always be running from my past. But when I met you, I realized that you are like an angel, and that I'm worthy of having a piece of heaven in my life.
And I'm not one to fall in love too fast
Oh, but something tells me this one's gonna last
Oh
I usually don't fall in love too quickly, but with you, I just know that this is going to last. Something in me just feels like you're the one for me.
You're all I'll ever want
You're all I'll ever need
You're all I've ever dreamed of having
You're everything I've ever wanted, needed, and dreamed of. You've completed me in ways I never even knew existed before.

My parents told us when our time on Earth is up
That there's a place that
We would go if we were good
Some destination we could never get a taste of
Not as long as we're still living in this world
Well, lately I've been questioning my faith
Just one look at you is all it really takes
Oh, I always heard there was a heaven

But darlin', ever since I met you
I know that heaven is you
Heaven is you, ooh, ooh

What's been broken can't be bought
And now I'll never not be running from my past
