  • Woke up 'cause the light poured in
    Day two let the flood begin
    Day one left me in my bed
    I can barely remember it
    Heart shattered in a thousand ways
    They tell me pain gonna come in waves
    They tell me I'm gonna be okay
    I'm still waiting for the first to break

    Why would You give and then take him away
    Suddenly end could You not let it fade
    What I would give for a couple of days
    A couple of days

    Is it just across the Jordan
    Or a city in the stars
    Are you singing with the angels
    Are you happy where you are
    Well until this show is over
    And you run into my arms
    God has you in heaven
    But I have you in my heart

    I have you in my heart

    I just can't make sense of this
    Everything is so dissonant
    Somebody said he was meant for this
    But I'm just straight missing him
    I wanna wake up to your laugh at two
    Catch you when you steal my shoes
    Say good morning, afternoon
    Talk you through those "Alex blues"
    Listen to your latest beats
    Talk about what the lyrics mean
    Venmo you another loan
    See you do your second show

    You said you'd turn, you would turn it around
    Thought that you had time to straighten it out
    Told me that you were my prodigal son
    But this isn't home

    Is it just across the Jordan
    Or a city in the stars
    Are you singing with the angels
    Are you happy where you are
    Well until this show is over
    And you run into my arms
    God has you in heaven
    But I have you in my heart

    I have you in my heart

    Did he see You from a long way off
    Running to him with a Father's heart
    Did You wrap him up inside Your arms
    And let him know, that he's home

    Did he see You from a long way off
    Running to him with a Father's heart
    Did You wrap him up inside Your arms
    And let him know, that he's home

    Is it just across the Jordan
    Or a city in the stars
    Are you singing with the angels
    Are you happy where you are
    Well until this show is over
    And you run into my arms
    God has you in heaven

    21 years makes a man full-grown
    21 years, what a beautiful loan
    21 years, I loved every one
    Thank you, Lord, for my beautiful son Writer/s: Blake Neesmith, Bryan Fowler, Toby McKeehan
