Heaven Passing Through

The sawmill lights, they shone so bright, you could barely see the stars

But we caught a couple fallin' out on a blanket in the yard

You're windin' down from a late shift down at the nursin' home

Feels so good to be up late, pretending that I'm grown

Come back from the dark somehow

Finally livin' in the here and now

No sign of a thundercloud followin' you

Don't take it personal

The world don't turn around you

Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passin' through

We washed the Xs off our hands at the honky-tonk

We two-stepped pretty bad and pretended we were drunk

Shared cigarettes and talked about what we would do

I knew no matter what I did, I'd never be with you

Come back from the dark somehow

Finally livin' in the here and now

No sign of a thundercloud followin' you

Don't take it personal

The world don't turn around you

Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through

Now we stare up and I say constellations that I know

You repeat 'em back, but you don't care, you're only three years old

It's nice to see the world the same as someone

It feels so good to be up late, pretending that I'm young

Come back from the dark somehow

Finally livin' in the here and now

No sign of a thundercloud followin' you

Don't take it personal

The world don't turn around you

Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through

Come back from the dark somehow

Finally livin' in the here and now

No sign of a thundercloud followin' you

Don't take it personal

The world don't turn around you

Hold on to a moment like it's heaven passing through
