[Intro]
(Ohhh Heaven owes me nothing)
(Ohhh)
I used to beg the skyline
For something I could keep
A light to cut the darkness
A promise in my sleep
Every quiet prayer I made
Felt like it went unheard
Just echoes in the silence
Of every whispered word
[Verse 1]
I thought if I kept reaching
Something might reach back
A hand through all the distance
A light inside the black
But hope can feel like hunger
And faith can feel like theft
When all the things you asked for
Are all the things you’ve left
I waited for a miracle
To fall into my hands
But all I got was gravity
And things I couldn’t stand (ooohhh)
[Pre-Chorus]
If every star is fading
If every dream must end
Then maybe I was foolish
To think the sky would bend
[Chorus]
Heaven owes me nothing
Not a single thing at all
Every prayer I whispered
Never learned to fall
I asked for something holy
But silence was enough
Heaven owes me nothing
And nothing’s what I got
[Verse 2]
I stopped looking upward
For signs I couldn’t see
Stopped asking for the answers
That never came to me
All the doors I waited on
Were never mine to find
Some things aren’t meant for saving
Some dreams are left behind
But then I felt you next to me
Like something real and true
All the things I prayed for
Were standing there in you (ohhh)
[Chorus]
Heaven owes me nothing
Not a single thing at all
Every prayer I whispered
Never learned to fall
I asked for something holy
But silence was enough
Heaven owes me nothing
And nothing’s what I got
[guitar and vocal solo]
[Bridge]
I don’t need the heavens opening
I don’t need the stars to move
Every answer I was chasing
Was already in you
[Alternate Chorus]
Heaven owes me nothing
Now I finally see
Every wish I ever made
Was standing next to me
I was asking for a miracle
Yet I was already blessed
Heaven owes me nothing
‘Cause your heart I possess
[Outro]
No more wishing on the night
No more asking for a sign
Heaven owes me nothing
‘Cause heaven made you mine
(Ohhhh)
