Claire in Heaven Lyrics

I was no more than three days old
too young to speak too young to count my toes
I think of fields where I might run
this moral twilight I`ve been plucked from

Up here we have no goals
You tear your hearts, you claw your souls
I wonder at this life that passed me be
But still I smile

Although I`m not with you down there
I sit alone up here and stare
It`s me my name is Claire
Claire in heaven

I wait for my next life patiently
I`m in no rush because of what I see
It`s hard for me to understand
I gaze from poisoned sea to poisoned land

Up here I see a new tomorrow
Your world`s not round your world is narrow
For me I just had a while
But still I smile

Although I`m not with you down there
I sit around up here and stare
It`s me my name is Claire
Claire in heaven

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.
