Closest Thing to Heaven [Solasso Dub] Lyrics

28 days of rain
Flashfloods in Feburary
Back in our boats again
Bathwater and the baby
What am I gonna do?
There's been a lot of drinking
Looking at ghosts of you
While all the world is sinking
Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere
My body shakes, is there a welcome here?

Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven, to heaven

Throw your arms 'round the world
Make love your destination
Here we go, boys and girls
Act like a generation
Give me that ball and chain
By now it must be hurting
Dragging your feet again
Just like a beast of burden
When one and one and one make two
I know I'm high because I've captured you
Yeah

Closest thing to heaven
Yes, you
Closest thing to heaven, to heaven

Look the world right in the eye
Eat the countries that are making millions
Sweet as homemade apple pie
Save the crumbs for all the starving millions

Closest thing to heaven
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven
Hey
Closest thing to 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.
