"Next To Paradise" lyrics - IRON & WINE

We take the sun
We take the truth from anyone
Anyone, anyone

We take the wind
Just like the world will never end
Never end, never end

And heaven's had enough of us
We turn around and found forget-me-nots
And other new surprises

And heaven's had enough of us
And no one's knocking on the nicest houses
Next to paradise

We take the rain
The pain that comes and goes again
And again and again

Just like a song
We want a place where we belong
We belong, we belong

We walk the devil in the dark woods
Because he's calling all our names
Just like the river dragging us all into the sea

It wore the leaves against the window
Because it won't ever look the same
I want you to tell me you'll never have enough of me

We take the waves
We take forever to behave
Will behave, please behave

Just like the moon
We take our time and leave too soon
Leave too soon, way too soon

Because heaven had enough of us
We turned around and found forget-me-nots
And other new surprise

Heaven had enough of us
And no one's knocking on the nicest houses
Next to paradise
