Story Behind the Song
I was feeling really blue one day, thinking about what would happen if my wife died. So the song is really in the future, thinking back on what might have been.
Lyrics
The days go by and it’s harder, harder to open your eyes.
Harder to get up and face it. Better to shut out the light.
The more you go looking for comfort, the more you find sadness and pain.
Why has the thrill of excitement, turned to a struggle for change.
It’s One Day Closer to Heaven. One day closer to you.
One day further from this living hell. One more night of the blues.
Maybe I should have been listening, to what all my friends had to say.
Maybe it’s too late to change it, too late to get in the game.
All you can hope for is passing, passing one day at a time.
Spending your life as an actor, waiting to render you lines.
It’s One Day Closer to Heaven. One day closer to you.
One day further from this living hell. One more night of the blues.
Memories are all that I have now, now that I no longer strive.
Strive for a new way of living, living an unyielding life.
Yesterday there was laughter. Today there is nothing to do.
Tomorrow is just another excuse, for feeling all lonely and blue.
It’s One Day Closer to Heaven. One day closer to you.
One day further from this living hell. One more night of the blues.
