Heaven's Gonna Wait Lyrics
Always walking straight home, like the other good girls do
Careful what you wish for, they could never be like you
It's not the right thing, baby, but the right things sooth so few
Let's take the other road, baby, cause' it looks so good on you
So hold on tight, it's gonna be a wild, wild ride
And tonight, you won't need your wings to fly
cause' angels got a lot to lose
So hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
All your golden crosses, hanging by a single thread
Remember what you are and forget what the good book said
It's not the right thing, baby, but the right things sooth so few
Let's take the other road, baby, cause' it looks so good on you
So hold on tight, it's gonna be a wild, wild ride
And tonight, you won't need your wings to fly
cause' angels got a lot to lose
So hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
Only the good die young,
how can it feel so real and be so wrong?
Only the good die young, so long
So hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
it's gonna be a wild, wild ride
And tonight, you won't need your wings to fly
cause' angels got a lot to lose
So hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
Heaven's gonna wait for you
Heaven's gonna wait for you
(Just a little bit longer, just a little bit longer)
Heaven's gonna wait for you
(Just a little bit longer)
Haven's gonna wait for you
Careful what you wish for, they could never be like you
It's not the right thing, baby, but the right things sooth so few
Let's take the other road, baby, cause' it looks so good on you
And tonight, you won't need your wings to fly
cause' angels got a lot to lose
So hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
Remember what you are and forget what the good book said
It's not the right thing, baby, but the right things sooth so few
Let's take the other road, baby, cause' it looks so good on you
And tonight, you won't need your wings to fly
cause' angels got a lot to lose
So hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
how can it feel so real and be so wrong?
Only the good die young, so long
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
And tonight, you won't need your wings to fly
cause' angels got a lot to lose
So hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life
And when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers
cause' heaven's gonna wait for you
Heaven's gonna wait for you
(Just a little bit longer, just a little bit longer)
Heaven's gonna wait for you
(Just a little bit longer)
Haven's gonna wait for you

My interpretation is this; a girl has a very strict Religious upbringing, but she also has a wild side she never shows anyone. "Hang on tight, it's gonna be a wild, wild ride." The most dangerous guy comes into her life, but the girl likes him. "It's not the right thing, baby, but the right thing suits so few." "Let's take the other road, baby 'cause it looks so good on you." He's telling her to live without consequences. "So, hang on tight, I'm gonna make you come to life, and when you're there, you won't need to say your prayers 'cause heaven's gonna wait for you." The guy is saying that God doesn't care if you live a little, because that's what life's about.
I think the song is about girl who isn't perfect but a boy sees her as perfect in his eyes
My interpretation of the song is that it's about someone who is contemplating suicide. It's saying "Hold on tight, it's gonna be a wild wild ride" which could mean hang on life will get better and heaven will wait for you. Keep living life cause you have so much to lose if you end life now.
