Closer to Heaven

[Verse 1: Zac Brown Band]
I have built an empire
On a beach of shifting sand
To see the walls go down so fast
Thought it was the end
Thought I was close to living
But never close to free
I was looking for a high I could not find
'Til you came down to me

[Chorus: Zac Brown Band]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven when I'm with you

[Post-Chorus: Zac Brown Band]
I wanna be a little closer
Come a little bit closer, baby

[Verse 2: Gregory Porter]
I've jumped in the fire
To watch the flames turn blue
But there's something in your smile that drives me wild
And makes me come back to you

[Pre-Chorus: Gregory Porter]
When I sail my ship on a sea of loneliness
You're the lighthouse that shows me where love is

[Chorus: Zach Brown & Gregory Porter]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you

[Bridge: Zac Brown Band]
As a sinner and a saint
And my own worst enemy
You make it easier to be the man I want to be

[Chorus: Zac Brown Band & Gregory Porter, Both]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you

[Post-Chorus: Zach Brown & Gregory Porter]
I wanna be a little closer (Closer, closer)
Come a little bit closer, baby (Oh baby)
