Heaven and Back Lyrics

she had been misplaced by the government
our old friends are under attack
they crossed over the border
(but) i have been to heaven and back
i've been to heaven and back
right in front of my eyes
things have a habit of happening to me
it's no suprise
some of the people they stayed behind
now they're all in prison or dead
i'm looking up at the mountain
i have been to heaven and back
ooo animal radar
like a thread around the world
loving and laughing my head's going 'round
i am a curious boy...
some people write little verses
others go on looking for cracks
uh handcuffed to history
i have been to heaven and back

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
