Story Behind the Song
Inspired by endless nights going out for a drink with my mates wanting to have an enjoyable evening and ending up in the usual drunken violence with kids who can't hold their drink.
Lyrics
I wanted to enjoy my night,
all my tensions out of sight,
I entered all the licensed sites,
saw someone and thought 'I might'.
I wanted to forget my stress,
thought that alcohol was best,
I left the scene into the night,
no other people in sight.
The wind was cold and got me down,
empty packets swirled around,
I heard a shout and turned to see
their gaze directed right at me.
I turned and ran my stomach churned,
another night I hadn't learned,
my heartbeat pounded in my ears,
my stitch was bringing me to tears.
Heaven, heaven can wait
Heaven, heaven can wait
I felt them breathing down my neck,
I turned a corner, stopped to check,
I was then punched to the floor,
I heard a voice cry out for more.
The street was dead, no-one in sight,
my mind was overcome by fright,
they figured I could not resist,
a final message from a fist.
They left me with a victory cry,
and the question still was 'why?'
no-one bothers I was told,
too scared or busy to get involved.
