Lyrics

Gently, as the waves crash along the coast
And the day wades slowly and more thoroughly than most
It's moments like these I can't help but raise a toast
Because I fear this must be Heaven
Sweetly, melodies of baby birds at play
And the wind flows through as delicately made as Cloisonné
It's memories like this that make me wanna stay
Because I fear this must be Heaven

Carefully, I travel, seeking out forbidden seams
Things might be too perfect for this not to be a dream
But the only thing surrounding myself are endless seas
And I fear this must be Heaven
Worriedly, I stumble onto sands so non-chalant
Have I kept myself awake when they sent me into the Jaunt
A fate worse than Death itself could even think to wrought
And I'll be stuck wishing this was Heaven?

Suddenly, the voice of my friends wake me up
They're finally back from the store with booze and Solo cups
It's so great to be surrounded by the ones that I love
And I fear this must be Heaven
Yes, I fear this must be Heaven

Excellent for audience participation. I particularly like the rather jarring phrase, "I fear this must be Heaven." With the happy sounds at the beginning, I was waiting for the "fear" part, which you delivered on in the second verse while still uplifting at the end.

Oddly strong Bright Eye's vibes here, which is a pipeline right to my heart. Well done!

I agree with the na na na's. The mood change with the second verse was wonderful.

Love the jaunty feel of this and your take on the prompt. This is such a singalong with those "na na na na's!"
