Falling Into Heaven

Overhead, the Milky Way
Lay draped on a motionless sky
The ground slipped away from beneath my feet
And I felt myself slide

Golden lights on the horizon
As the hayfields around me capsized
I clung to the ground by the grass in my hand
That tore free and I fell into night

Falling into nothing
Falling into heaven

Farewell to the yucca flowers
And the chill of the reservoir breeze
The fire that dwindles to a distant coal
Looks like a lighthouse
I'm sucked out to sea

Farewell to all the city lights
That coast-to-coast spiderweb glow
Hello to drifting toward the ever-receding
Completely unknown

Falling into heaven
Falling into nothing

We were never prisoners here, you know
All we had to do was let go
We were never bound by gravity's pull
All we had to do was let go

Climb out the window to the rooftop
Spread a blanket with a view of the sky
I wish that you could see what I see
From up here as the traffic rolls by
And I wish that you could fall for me now
Like you did on a night like tonight
'Cos sometimes you fall and you hit the ground
But sometimes, you miss and you fly

Falling into heaven
Falling into nothing
Hey

We were never prisoners here, you know
All we had to do was let go
We were never bound by gravity's pull
All we had to do was let go
Take your heavy heart and let it float
All we have to do is let go
You are still my one direction home
All we have to do is let go
