O.A.R. - Heaven Lyrics

I’m underneath it all tonight

Out my window there’s a million lights

A thousand hearts feeling just like me

Man, it feels like heaven out here in the street



I know i got a lot to learn

Breaking bottles only left me hurt

Played with fire till i burned myself

Don’t you know that love’ll bring us somewhere else



So you take the left, I’ll take the right

Under arrest, we’re under fire

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

You take the low, I’ll take the high

You lock the gate, i hear the choir

Everybody got a problem with the way i live

I don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in



Maybe i should take my time

And build this life by my own design

With no direction and it’s in between

Everything i love, and everything i need



So bring it back

All i want is understanding

To live my life the way that i planned it

Wouldn’t change a thing

Man, it feels like heaven underneath my feet



So you take the left, I’ll take the right

Under arrest, we’re under fire

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

You take the low, I’ll take the high

You lock the gate, i hear the choir

Everybody got a problem with the way i live

I don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in



So raise em up, raise em up

All i ever wanted was a shot at your love

I know and i believe

Everything we got is everything we need

Love’ll get you higher

It set my heart on fire

I know it’s what you see

Don’t wanna go to heaven

If they don’t want me



Cause I’m no criminal

I’m not your enemy

All i have is life

And i don’t wanna go to heaven

If i can’t get in



So you take the left, I’ll take the right

Under arrest, we’re under fire

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I don’t wanna go to heaven

If i can’t get in

You take the low, I’ll take the high

You lock the gate, i hear the choir

Everybody got a problem with the way i live

I don’t wanna go to heaven

If i can’t get in



Raise em up, raise em up

Everything you wanted is inside your cup

Drink up

Love will get you higher



Oh, I’m not your enemy

I never met no criminal

And in the end I’d do it again

I don’t wanna go to heaven

If i cant get in



Oh, I’m not a criminal

Yeah I’m no enemy

It’s just the way i live

I don’t wanna go to heaven

If i cant get in
