Hunter laments about abandoning things in the past, including heading into the city when his mother died and leaving Miss Leading behind. He lost his faith many years ago, but religion is the one thing he struggles to sever himself from.
He wants to run away from being mayor, and give up his half-b...
[Verse 1]
I lost my faith when I was young
I clenched my fist to bite my tongue
I leave a wake from all the things that I had done
Cause there wouldn't be a thing when I moved on
[Chorus 1]
Then I said wait
Are our bodies really piles of dirt?
And is the soul just a metaphor?
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
I fear that there is a heaven above
[Verse 2]
I stood in lines to bow my head
I'd fold my hands and speak in tongues
To whisper worries to the dead
But I could tell no apparition heard a single word I said
But I'd still call my fear in to the air
[Chorus 2]
Then I said wait
Is my body really part of the earth
And is there blood running through my veins?
I'll know when I turn to dust
But I fear the answer isn't enough
So, will I never know heaven or hell?
Or is eternity something worse?
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
I fear that there is a heaven above
(heaven above, heaven above)
[Bridge]
I want to give it up
I want to give it up
I want to give it up
But I just need it too much
[Chorus 3]
Wait
Is my body really part of the earth?
And is there blood running through my veins?
I'll know when I turn to dust
But I fear the answer isn't enough
So, will I never know heaven or hell?
Or is eternity something worse?
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
[Outro]
A fear that there is a heaven above
A fear that there is a heaven above
A fear that there is a heaven above
I hope there's not a heaven above
