Near Wild Heaven Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mike Mills]
Whenever we hold each other
We hold each other
There's a feeling that's gone
Something has gone wrong
And I don't know how much longer I can take it
House made of heart, break it
Take my head in your hands and shake it
In this near wild heaven
Not near enough
[Chorus: Mike Mills]
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
Near wild heaven
[Verse 2: Mike Mills]
Whatever it takes, I'm giving
It's just a gift I'm given
Trying to live inside
Trying to move inside
And I always thought that it would make me smarter
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba, ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
But it's only made me harder
My heart thrown open wide
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
In this near wild heaven
Not near enough
[Chorus: Mike Mills]
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, lliving inside)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Near wild heaven
[Bridge]
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
I'm holding my hands together
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
Holding my feet together
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
Holding myself together
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
In this near wild heaven
Not near enough
[Outro]
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba) Near wild heaven
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba) Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba) Near wild heaven
(Living inside, living inside, living inside)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Near wild heaven
