This Side Of Heaven

I'm going to cash this check
I want to take you out
And when I pick you up
I'll never let you down
It's simple enough
The road gets rough
But dreams don't die
On this side of heaven

When I saw you first
Outside the shops of rain
Well your eyes looked hurt
I didn't know your name
Still I carried you around
I'm a lost and found
For things that won't drown
On this side of heaven
On this side of heaven

There's bars and bills
And cheaper thrills
I can't wait until
You meet me here
On this side of heaven

Now you're in my voice
And you're with my sleep
The pause between the noise
Leave a message please
If you've been born
What will keep you warm
Is what sometimes comes
To this side of heaven
To this side of heaven
