Just Like Heaven Lyrics

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, she said
The one that makes me laugh, he said
And threw her arms around my neck

Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her hair
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow

Why are you so far away, she said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
And I'm in love with you

[Chorus:]
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Sitting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes

And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You

What is the Meaning of Just Like Heaven?

This dreamy, alternative cover spins a tale of longing, love, and the bittersweet dance of memory. A romantic connection unfolds as two lovers share moments filled with laughter and affection. Amidst this joy, there's an underlying yearning, as one partner feels the other's distance. The chorus captures the mysterious essence and angelic qualities of the beloved, likening them to a mesmerizing dream. As time slips by, reality seeps in, revealing isolation and the aching void left by love's absence. The tumultuous sea metaphorically represents the overwhelming emotions that drown his happiness when he's apart from her. Through its swirling melodies, the song vividly encapsulates the transcendent highs and melancholic lows of love. 🌊
