I keep you down inside my heart   We watch the whole world fall apart   And melt into an ether sea      You failed to take me by the hand   I failed to make you understand   That all I wanted was your hands   On me      I'm captured in your eye   Am I an inch away from heaven?   And there's too many sad goodbyes   Am I an inch away from heaven?   And just a little higher now   Am I an inch away from heaven?   Am I an inch away from heaven?      The walls have ears   The stones have names   We gave in all our silly games   I knew I'd never let you go      And there is no one I can blame   Because your heart remained the same   I swear I'll never let you go      I'm captured in your eye   Am I an inch away from heaven?   And there's too many sad goodbyes   Am I an inch away from heaven?   And just a little higher now   'Cause every day I die for this   Am I an inch away from heaven?      Am I to be tortured   And not be the victim   All twisted up by my own pride   Am I to be stranded   Just waving my arms in the air   While you're trying to lie      I'm captured in your eye   Am I an inch away from heaven?   And there's too many sad goodbyes   Am I an inch away from heaven?   And just a little higher now   'Cause we're so close and far from this   Am I an inch away from heaven?
