[Verse]
If heaven watches over me
Sowing seeds back in the soil
With eyes that see, hands that feel
Why am I the last to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sheltered lives spent partially breathing
Are gathered together under new religion
[Chorus]
Pulling punches, moving, sleeping on our feet
Pulling punches, I needed someone to comfort me
Raised in summer days of splendour
Who would've dreamed of love never ending?
[Verse]
A better world lies in front of me
A sketch of life in the books I read
Then as I walk where heaven leads
Why am I the last to know?
[Pre-Chorus]
Simple lives spent partially breathing
Are gathered together under new religion
[Chorus]
Pulling punches, moving, sleeping on our feet
Pulling punches, I needed someone to comfort me
Raised in summer days of splendour
Who would've dreamed of love never ending?
[Half-verse]
Nature feeds this nausea
Deep inside the heart of me
