Rip in Heaven
Rip in Heaven: Unraveling Love's Relics
Lyrics
Remember this, given us
Reflecting on something significant given to us
By someone's set of parents
Provided by someone's parents
I don't recall, I admit
Admitting a lack of recall or knowledge
I don't know just who's to blame
Uncertain about who is responsible or at fault
For relics of our history
Acknowledging remnants of the past
To tell the truth, it wasn't bad
Despite challenges, the past wasn't entirely negative
We had to have a reason
A reason was necessary, but lack of love wasn't the cause
And lack of love wasn't it
Emphasizing a shared understanding of a past
We both know we had a past
Acknowledging a shared history
But present must contain
The present must accommodate a shared future
A future where both of us can fit
A future where both individuals can coexist
So long and sorry, darling
Bidding farewell and expressing regret
I was counting to forever
Expressing a commitment to a lasting connection
And never even got to ten
Falling short of achieving a long-lasting relationship
So long and sorry, darling
Parting ways with remorse and sorrow
When we found a rip in heaven
Discovering a disruption in a seemingly heavenly connection
We should have just ascended then
Suggesting a missed opportunity to ascend
It's funny how you just assume
Reflecting on the assumption that issues can be resolved
You're going to work it out
Belief in attempting to find a solution
Or give it at least a try
Optimism about trying to make things work
But optimistic feelings can't be
Optimistic feelings are delicate and easily lost
Passed from hand to hand
Optimism can't be transferred easily
You handle them they tend to die
Handling optimism may lead to its demise
So long and sorry, darling
Expressing regret and farewell once more
I was counting to forever
Commitment to a lasting connection, counting to forever
And never even got to ten
Falling short of a long-lasting commitment
So long and sorry, darling
Parting ways with sorrow and regret
When we found a rip in heaven
Discovering a disruption in a seemingly heavenly connection again
We should have just ascended then
Suggesting a missed opportunity to ascend again
Well, better than if I just go away
Choosing to depart gracefully rather than disappearing
Preserving the fiction of
Preserving a facade of indifference
Indifference now
Replacing love with a sense of detachment
Replacing love
The act of replacing love
So long and sorry, darling
Expressing regret and farewell once again
I was counting to forever
Commitment to a lasting connection, counting to forever once more
And never even got to ten
Falling short of a long-lasting commitment again
So long and sorry, darling
Parting ways with sorrow and regret again
When we found a rip in heaven
Discovering a disruption in a seemingly heavenly connection once more
We should have just ascended then
Suggesting a missed opportunity to ascend once more
We should have just ascended then
Reiterating the missed opportunity to ascend
We should have just ascended then
Reiterating the missed opportunity to ascend again
