Have we had enough
Telling everybody they're wrong?
Does it build it us up?
Tearing down the ones we could love
Oh, hold on
Have we given up?
Living like there's nothing to lose?
Will we ever stop?
Fighting like there's something to prove?
Oh, hold on
If heaven's so close then why does it feel so far away?
I wanna get out of here, but I'm still not ready to leave
Believing something better's ahead but the wait's not easy
We still have love to give
Will we share it now while we're awake?
When will we forget?
Warring just to take what we want
Are we too afraid
To see there's nothing greater than love?
Oh, hold on
If heaven's so close then why does it feel so far away?
I wanna get out of here, but I'm still not ready to leave
Believing something better's ahead but the wait's not easy
We still have love to give
Will we share it now while we're awake?
