Just Like Heaven

Yeah, I know cheese flows... and if flows pretty thick. But here we go for today we're actually doing a cover.

"Just Like Heaven" was originally a song by The Cure but I prefer Katie Melua's version even though it's been somewhat changed. But hey, that's what it's all about... taking ownership of what you do, even if you're copying something else. In this case the tempo and even some of the wording.

Somewhere out there... there's someone that knows that trick.

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away, he said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you

You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven


Running away only really works if you have someone to run away with. Is it then still running away?
