Goodbyes are never easy, goodbyes never tire   Making me feel guilty, being dragged through time   You were standing in my doorway as the seconds raced the snails   Because you wouldn't let me leave you, without driving those last few nails   I guess that's how it works here      But Heaven holds a promise for every friend we've left behind   Time is not the ruler that I thought he was   Someday soon we'll wake up, wake to see each other running   Arms open, all is forgiven when Heaven heals      It's been a few weeks since that message that I left to feed the lie   That communication's open when we both know that it's died   I wish that were the nobler thing      But Heaven holds a promise for every friend we've left behind   And time is not the ruler that I thought he was   And someday soon we'll wake up, wake to see each other running   Arms open, all is forgiven when Heaven heals, Heaven heals      It cannot be right just to leave you   God it's just too hard to stick around   Maybe herein lies the place where grace starts   That when we're both lost then God is found, God is found      But Heaven holds a promise for every friend we've left behind   And time is not the ruler that I thought he was   Someday soon we'll wake up, wake to see each other running   Arms open, all is forgiven, arms open, all is forgiven   Arms open, all is forgiven when Heaven heals, Heaven heals, Heaven heals   Oh when Heaven heals, that's right yeah
