Zac Brown Band, Gregory Porter - Closer to Heaven lyrics

I have built an empire
On a beach of shifting sand
To see the walls go down so fast
Thought it was the end
Thought I was close to living
But never close to free
I was looking for a high I could not find
'Til you came down to me

Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven when I'm with you

I wanna be a little closer
Come a little bit closer, baby

I've jumped in the fire
To watch the flames turn blue
But there's something in your smile
That drives me wild
And makes me come back to you

When I sail my ship on a sea of loneliness
You're the lighthouse that shows
Me where love is

Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you

As a sinner and a saint
And my own worst enemy
You make it easier to be the man I want to be

Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you

I wanna be a little closer (Closer, closer)
Come a little bit closer, baby (Oh, baby)
