Just Like Heaven

September 2005

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away? he said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream
You’re just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above the raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
