Threw my coins out on the wind
Crossed my fingers and tried again
Straight ahead, a collision course
I can't control it anymore
Fate is but a rendezvous
Paths I followed to get to you
Wore my boots down to the heels
How bitter disappointment feels
Out in the blue
Memories like fires glow
Can we forget them, I don't think so
Marched in lines against the odds
I can't forgive the things I saw
Teardrops fall and arrows fly
How many times I've watched you cry
Promises I broke to you
All the things I'm going through
Out in the blue
Oh captain, steer me clear
Make the nightmares disappear
Some things better left alone
Let someone else carry the load
Every year takes its toll
Time keeps cutting at my soul
I know you're out there just like me
Is this the way it's supposed to be
Out in the blueI've got a picture of your house
and you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded,
and it's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that I worked
silhouetted in the back.
Memories are great, but man they're really coming back.
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl
Chorus:
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say
How I love the way you move
and the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like blue suburban skys
When i come home late at night
and you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
so i can feel you breathe
I dont need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Chorus:
Heaven isnt too far away
Closer to it everyday
(Ah - Ah)
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way
Whoa yeahhhhhhhhhh yeah
Now the lights are going out,
along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you.
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
ohhhh ohhh
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way
Heaven
Whoaaaaaaa oohh ohhh
Heaven
It's not too far away
Whoaaaaaaaaa ohhh ohhh
Yeah yeah yeah
