Heaven Knows
Orange and Lemons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm lyin' in my bed
How I pellow and cry from this stupid get
And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day
Almost rubbed-out, swelling
As I keep on
Diggin' my face
In these cold hands of mine
Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings
And made her mine
For all eternity
Now this angel has flown away from me
I thought I had the strength to set her free
I did what I did
Because I love her so
Will she ever find her way
Back home to me
I'm so tired
I feel like catching forty-winks
Being up all night in this elbow-room
That puts me in a trance
Where hopes and dreams come true
Now my lips are burning
And my eyes are hurting
From these fumes I make
Still I light another cigarette
Just to pass my time
Oh, heaven knows how embittered, I am
Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings
And made her mine
For all eternity
Now this angel has flown away from me
I thought I had the strength to set her free
I did what I did
Because I love her so
Will she ever find her way
Back home to me

There are times
At certain moments in my life
When I'm lyin' in my bed
When I am lying down in my bed
How I pellow and cry from this stupid get
I cry and sob because of this foolish mistake
And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day
My eyes are blurry and teary, like raindrops on a car windshield
Almost rubbed-out, swelling
Almost faded and swollen from crying
As I keep on
While I continue
Diggin' my face
Pressing my face
In these cold hands of mine
Into my own cold hands
Heaven knows how embittered, I am
I am extremely bitter, and only God knows how much
Cause this angel has flown away from me
Because my beloved has left me and gone away like an angel
Leaving me in drunken misery
Leaving me in a state of emotional pain and confusion
I should have clipped her wings
I should have prevented her from leaving and kept her for myself
And made her mine
And made her my own
For all eternity
Forever
Now this angel has flown away from me
Now my beloved has left me and gone away like an angel
I thought I had the strength to set her free
I believed that I had the courage to let her go
I did what I did
I took the action that I did
Because I love her so
Because I love her deeply
Will she ever find her way
Will she ever come back
Back home to me
To return to me
I'm so tired
I am exhausted
I feel like catching forty-winks
I feel like taking a nap
Being up all night in this elbow-room
Being awake all night in this cramped space
That puts me in a trance
That makes me feel hypnotized
Where hopes and dreams come true
Where I can dream and hope for good things to happen
Now my lips are burning
Now my lips are in pain
And my eyes are hurting
And my eyes are in pain
From these fumes I make
From the smoke of the cigarette I am smoking
Still I light another cigarette
Nonetheless, I light another cigarette
Just to pass my time
Just to spend my time
Oh, heaven knows how embittered, I am
Oh, God only knows how bitter I am

Almost rubbed down, swelling, as I keep on
Dipping my face in these cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how bitter I am

Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings and made her mine for all eternity
Now, this angel has flown away from me

Did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me? Ah-ah

Being up all night in this elbow room
That puts me in a trance
Where hopes and dreams come true

Here's the lyrics for those who didn't know the song
She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up,
Till I close my eyes.
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know.
And though she's so far away,
It just keeps getting stronger everyday
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me, where do I start
'Coz it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
Chorus:
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope & pray
'Coz heaven knows.
My friends keep telling me
That if you really love her,
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in time
I'll know she's mine
But tell me, where do I start
'Coz it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
(Repeat Chorus)
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope & pray
'Coz heaven knows.
Bridge:
Why I live in despair
'Coz wide awake or dreamin',
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave,
I'm shakin' inside
Why does it hurt me so?
(Repeat Chorus)
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope & pray
'Coz heaven knows.
Heaven knows... heaven knows...
