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?
