Cherry Lips and Paper Money: Unveiling the Soulful Depths of 'Heaven's So Far Away'
Lyrics
Heaven's so far away
Heaven feels distant and unattainable
Heaven, just a taste
Heaven is only experienced briefly or partially
Heaven's so far away
Reiteration of the feeling that Heaven is unreachable
Cherry, cherry, cherry
Repetition emphasizing the allure or temptation represented by "cherry"
Cherry, cherry, cherry
-Cherry, cherry, cherry, baby
-Heaven's so far away
Reiterating the unattainable nature of Heaven
Cherry on your lips
The allure or temptation represented by "cherry" is present on your lips
Heaven's so far away
Continuing to express the distance of Heaven
Tell me, baby, who's your daddy?
Asking about the origin or influence ("daddy") and claiming superiority in love
Who's your daddy?
-Can't love like me
-(Can't love like me)
-Keep it burning, baby
Describing love as easy, burning, and irresistible, similar to paper money
Like paper money
-Give it to you easy
-Keep it burning, baby
-Cherry on your lips
Connecting the allure represented by "cherry" to the distance of Heaven
Is heaven's so far away?
Pondering whether the allure on your lips is the substitute for unreachable Heaven
Don't you ever leave me, baby
Expressing reliance on someone, believing they can provide salvation
I believe that you can save me
-Heaven, just a taste
-Heaven's so far away
-You're gonna get me high
Anticipation of being elevated emotionally or physically by someone
You can do it, baby
-You're gonna get me high
-Keep it burning, baby
-You're gonna get me high
-Like paper money
-Girl, who's your daddy?
Reiterating the inquiry about influence ("daddy") and claiming unmatched love
Who's your daddy?
-Can't love like
-You can't love like me
-I keep burning, baby
Claiming to be like "paper money" and asserting a superior love
I'm paper money
-Girl, you know I'm your daddy
-You can't love like me
-Can't love me, baby
Asserting that the other person can't match their love
You can't love like me
-I keep it burning, baby
Reiteration of intense, irresistible love similar to paper money despite Heaven's distance
Like paper money
-I keep it burning, baby
-Heaven's so far away
