“This is My Heaven”
by Scott McGuire
Lyrics
Verse 1
You’d pick a place on the floor
And sit right by the edge of the door
Eyes fixed down the hallway
Like you knew what you were waiting for
Three hours on the clock
Felt like years in your head
The moment you saw me coming
You were already ahead
Pre-Chorus
Running past the noise and the crowd
Like nothing else was around
Chorus
This is my heaven
A long hallway and a door
Three hours feels like forever
When you’re three
I was losing everything
But you were running to me
If that’s all heaven ever is
Then it already found me
Verse 2
The ground kept shifting under me
I was just tryin’ to stay on my feet
The days felt heavy, nights ran long
I didn’t know where I went wrong
Trade winds turning, bills stacked high
The world on fire, no safety line
But you never felt the weight of it
Just the joy in your chest when you saw my face
I was barely standing upright
But you were lighting up my life
Chorus
This is my heaven
A long hallway and a door
Three hours feels like forever
When you’re three
I was losing everything
But you were running to me
If that’s all heaven ever is
Then it already found me
Bridge
While I was walking through the fire
You were runnin’ through the clouds
Final Chorus
This is my heaven
No gold streets, no choirs
Just a little girl running
Through the hardest days of my life
I was losing everything
But you were running to me
If heaven’s just a moment like this
Then it already found me
Outro
I’d pick you up, spin you around
Like time didn’t exist
Yeah, if this is what heaven looks like
I’ve already lived in it
