One Mile from Heaven
Forgiveness Beyond the Horizon
Lyrics
One more step and you walk out the door
Expressing a moment of decision or departure.
Never to return to me
Acknowledging a permanent separation.
All I want is for you to be mine
Desiring a commitment and connection.
Living now ain't what it ought to be
Reflecting on the disappointment of current circumstances.
I'm very sorry if I caused you pain
Apologizing for causing emotional pain.
And I'll never do it again
Promising not to repeat the actions that caused pain.
But you're
Transitioning to the central theme.
One mile from heaven now
Describing a state of being close to bliss or contentment.
One mile from being free
Indicating proximity to freedom or liberation.
One mile from heaven now
Reiterating the closeness to a heavenly state.
And I hope you forgive me
Expressing a hope for forgiveness related to previous actions.
Give me courage to see your success
Pleading for strength to witness the other person's success.
While I'm failing with every dream
Contrasting personal failure with the other's success.
All I want is for things to be right
Yearning for things to be set right.
Living now ain't what it ought to seem
Reflecting on the disparity between reality and expectations.
I'm very sorry if I caused you pain
Apologizing again for causing pain.
And I'll never do it again
Reiterating the commitment to avoid causing future pain.
But you're
Revisiting the central theme of being close to heavenly bliss.
One mile from heaven now
Reiterating the proximity to a heavenly state.
One mile from being free
Emphasizing the closeness to freedom.
One mile from heaven now
Repeating the idea of being close to heaven.
And I hope you forgive me
Expressing a continued hope for forgiveness.
But you're
Restating the theme of being close to heavenly bliss.
One mile from heaven now
Reiterating the proximity to freedom.
One mile from being free
Emphasizing the nearness to a heavenly state.
One mile from heaven now
Closing repetition of the theme and hope for forgiveness.
And I hope you forgive me
Final expression of the desire for forgiveness.
