My Own Heaven (Live)

from Live at Kim Marie's (Deluxe) by Sean Tobin

/

lyrics

I’m tired of waking up in blue jeans
feeling like a cigarette.
Burned out for your entertainment,
digging deeper into debt.
I’m tired of billionaires and sitcoms
cracking jokes to pass the time.
Mostly I’m just tired of living,
I think it’s killing me alive.
It’s killing me alive.

I’m tired of everyone complaining
‘bout the way things ought to be,
how they were back in the old days,
everyone including me.

But every now and then, I get a glimpse of my own heaven.
It’s the smell of salty air, and the town that I live in.
It’s the way she says I love you after two glasses of wine.
It’s the sound of birds at sunrise. It’s her lips against mine.

I’m tired of sleeping in for hours
without reason to awake.
It’s like swimming laps in concrete.
It’s hurry up and wait.
I’m tired of politics and taxes
and not seeing any change.
Mostly I’m just tired of dying,
I think it’s driving me insane.

But every now and then, I get a glimpse of my own heaven.
It’s the smell of salty air, and the town that I live in.
It’s the way she says I love you after two glasses of wine.
It’s the sound of birds at sunrise. It’s her lips against mine.
It’s a palm tree in December and mountains in the spring.
It’s the first night of the summer and the warm air it brings.
It’s making sure I never have to feel alone again,
‘Cause up in my own heaven, the party never ends.
