Make Heaven Wait
Eternal Longing: Guy Sebastian's Moving Quest to Make Heaven Wait
Lyrics
I see you smiling every day
I observe your joyful expression every day
Looking back at me like nothing ever changed
You gaze at me as if nothing has changed
I swear I heard you call my name
I believe I heard you calling my name
But in reality it's just your picture in a frame
In reality, it's just a framed picture of you
Why am I here without you
I question why I'm here without you
When there was so much left for us to do
There were unfulfilled plans and things for us to do
How could the angels come so soon
Expressing surprise at the sudden arrival of angels
If I could make heaven wait
If it were possible for me to delay heaven
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
I would inquire with God if there was an error
Made some mistake
Suggesting the possibility of a mistake in the divine plan
If he'd save your wings for another day
If God could postpone taking your angelic wings
If only I could make heaven wait
If only I had the power to delay heaven
All your clothes are hanging up
Your belongings remain untouched and hanging
Not a thing's been touched, I left it on the tape
Nothing has changed; I preserved it on tape
I wish I could press rewind and go back in time
Expressing the desire to rewind time to see your face again
Just to see your face again
A longing to witness your face once more
Cause I'm missing you; I need you
Feeling the absence and loneliness without you
I'm so alone without you here with me
Expressing profound solitude without your presence
You are the reason that I breathe
You are the reason for my existence
If I could make heaven wait
If there was a way to delay heaven
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
I'd question God about a possible mistake
Made some mistake
Contemplating the idea of a divine error
If he'd save your wings for another day
Hoping God might postpone taking your wings
If only I could make heaven wait
If only I possessed the power to delay heaven
And every night I search for your star in the sky
Every night, searching for a symbolic connection with you
Cause I would trade in my life for a chance to say good-bye
Willing to trade my life for a chance to say goodbye
Make heaven wait
A plea to delay heaven
Make heaven wait
Reiteration of the desire to delay heaven
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
If there were a way to ask God about a potential mistake
Made some mistake
Contemplating the idea of divine oversight
If he'd save your wings for another day
Hoping God might spare your wings for another day
If I could make heaven wait
If there was a means to delay heaven
I'd find a way to ask God if He had
Considering the possibility of a divine error
Made some mistake
Contemplating the idea of God saving your wings for later
If he'd save your wings for another day
If only there were a way to delay heaven
If only I could make heaven wait
If only I had the power to postpone heaven
If I could make heaven wait make heaven wait
If there was a way to make heaven wait
