Inch Away From Heaven

Charlotte Martin

I keep you down inside my heart

We watch the whole world fall apart

And melt into an ether sea

You failed to take me by the hand

I failed to make you understand

That all I wanted was your hands

On me

I'm captured in your eye

Am I an inch away from heaven?

And there's too many sad goodbyes

Am I an inch away from heaven?

And just a little higher now

Am I an inch away from heaven?

Am I an inch away from heaven?

The walls have ears

The stones have names

We gave in all our silly games

I knew I'd never let you go

And there is no one I could blame

Because your heart remained the same

I swear I'll never let you go

I'm captured in your eye

Am I an inch away from heaven?

And there's too many sad goodbyes

Am I an inch away from heaven?

And just a little higher now

Because every day I die for this

Am I an inch away from heaven?

Am I to be tortured forever and ever

All twisted up by my own pride

Am I to be stranded

Just waving my arms in the wind

While you're trying to hide

I'm captured in your eye

Am I an inch away from heaven?

And there's too many sad goodbyes

Am I an inch away from heaven?

And just a little higher now

Because we're so close and far from this

Am I an inch away from heaven?
