Alice, heaven can wait
There's a way and place for every human
She lived by a road
Where her dad had work
She had blue jeans and a leather jacket
And a straw hat with a feather
I met her there
Every day after school
In an abandoned cargo cart
By an overgrown track
How we dreamt ourselves away
The wind caught our hair
Like pages in a book
Where we forgot our wounds
A place where darkness came quickly
A place where no one could reach
Everything was a loan for me
Alice, heaven can wait
There's a way and place for every human
Alice, heaven can wait
There's a way and place for every human
Her tears down her cheek as she's putting make up on
Like the rain in September she must forget what was
On the way to world's end, and there's no way back
The emotions scare, can't we just remember what was
How we dreamt ourselves away
The wind caught our hair
Like pages in a book
Where we forgot our wounds
Alice, heaven can wait
There's a way and place for every human
Alice, heaven can wait
There's a way and place for every human
