Heaven Knows
The Ultimate Bearhug Lyrics

The song "Heaven Knows" by The Ultimate Bearhug is a nostalgic and emotional depiction of finding love after feeling lost for a long time. The first verse, "Heaven knows where I'd be love, I've been lost for so long, for so long, could it be you found me, Heaven knows," highlights the singer's feelings of being lost and how they have found someone who may have saved them from that lost state. The chorus continues with this sentiment, stating how the singer has fallen in love and how they fear where it may lead but are thankful for it nonetheless.

The second verse focuses on the significance of the person they have found, and how their absence creates a void. "So it goes, so it is love, I get lost when you're gone, when you're gone, oh it's true I need you, so it goes," communicates the depth of the singer's commitment to their newfound love. The use of the phrase "so it goes" may be an allusion to Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse-Five," where the phrase is used to mark significant moments in the singer's life.

The final verse encourages the idea of taking things slow but being open to new possibilities. "Take it slow, take it slow, it's so new love, we get lost in a song, we belong, could it be you need me, Heaven knows." The repeated phrase "Heaven knows" throughout the song emphasizes the idea of fate and how finding the right person can be seen as a blessing from a higher power.
