Won't Get To Heaven (The State I'm In) Lyrics

Lord I’m feelin’ so weary
I guess I’m tired of being alone
So give me one more chance
And lord I will be coming home
I believe I’m damaged
I believe that I’m wrong
I believe my time ain’t long

Lord I’m feelin’ so lonely
I should’ve had it while I could
So give me one more chance
And lord I will be home for good
I believe I’m damaged
I believe that I’m wrong
I believe my time ain’t long

C’mon babe
Hold my hand
We should take it
While we can
Believe me now
Y’know you're not alone

Lord I’m feelin’ so weary
You’d better call a doctor in
And give me one more chance
I won’t get to heaven the state I’m in
I believe I’m damaged
I believe that I’m wrong
I believe my time ain’t long

I’m hopin’
Prayin’
Lord I’m sayin’
I believe my time
Ain’t long

[Repeated lots]

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.

This is my favourite song on Let It Come Down. The ending chant is so fantastic, so huge, so uplifting... it's an amazing thing to listen to.

How Spiritualized dont get more recognition, I really don't know. In the scheme of Spiritualized there are far greater records, but they make so many great ones, its hard to choose.
