Heaven Isn't So Far Lyrics

Your eyes are an invitation
For sugar-coated pain
How sweet now is this kiss
If bitterness remains?
My body’s gotten colder
Since I felt your touch
I wish I could remember
I can never get enough

Heaven isn’t so far
Cause I can taste it
On your lips tonight
Heaven isn’t so far now
(But hell is getting close)
Heaven isn’t so far
Cause i can taste it
On your lips tonight
Heaven isn’t so far now

Your voice sounds like the sirens
Calling out my name
But could I be mistaken,
Could I be to blame?
Could I be forgiven,
Or would I be forgotten?

God you know how hard I’ve prayed
Though it seems I’m still the same
If I could ask just one thing
Could you take this world away?

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.

Cover art for Heaven Isn't So Far lyrics by Becoming, The

I think this song is about allowing sin to deceive you. You can see something pleasurable in sin, which can seem to be like heaven to you at that moment. You can slip a little, still go to church or whatever, and think that heaven still isn't so far. I think that the line, "Your voice sounds like the sirens" is alluding to the sirens in Greek mythology that had enchanting voices which caused Sailers to shipwreck on the rocky coast.
