## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I'm in a fight or flight

And I'm on my way home

I land at midnight

Don't know how this thing will go

Most times I'm red light

But you come over

Feeling like I just might

Might not wanna be alone

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Yeah I've followed every rule

Played by everybody's game

But if I'm telling the truth

I don't see myself the same

Yeah I've tip-toed every line

But I'm crossing them tonight (I'll cross 'em)

Like you cross my mind

**[Chorus]**

Now I'm looking up (Looking up)

Looking up, looking up

At the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

It might be fucked (Might be fucked)

I'm in love, I'm in love

With the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

Maybe I just went and lost my senses

When I said I wanted you I meant it all

You must be an angel cause I'm looking up (Looking up)

Looking up, looking up

At the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

**[Verse 2]**

I'm getting married soon

Got him this house the life I want but wanting you

Is something I should see through

So while undressing you

I wanna know more 'bout you than I ever knew

Before I say "I do" (I do)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Yeah I've tip-toed every line

But I'm crossing them tonight (I'll cross 'em)

Like you cross my mind

**[Chorus]**

Now I'm looking up (Looking up)

Looking up, looking up

At the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

It might be fucked (Might be fucked)

I'm in love, I'm in love

With the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

Maybe I just went and lost my senses

When I said I wanted you I meant it all

You must be an angel cause I'm looking up (Looking up)

Looking up, looking up

At the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

**[Bridge]**

Oh no baby please don't tell nobody

If you love me say it with your body oh-oh

Let it go

Come a little closer, close the distance

Ease into my heart, to ease the tension oh-oh

(Let it go)

**[Chorus]**

Now I'm looking up (Looking up)

Looking up, looking up

At the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

It might be fucked (Might be fucked)

I'm in love, I'm in love

With the closest thing to heaven, closest thing to heaven

Oh, closest thing to heaven

Oh
