It's Not Heaven Lyrics

Here’s your lunch money, you’d better hurry for the old school bus
Did you clean your teeth this morning
I know you hate it when I start to fuss
Here’s a letter for your teacher
Your dinner’s in the freezer, five minutes in the microwave
Don’t wait for me this evening, I’m probably working late

Your daddy’s coming over with his new lover and I don’t wanna be around
So I’m gonna do some shopping
I’ll buy you those stockings, I’ll be back in half an hour
Oh it’s my anticipation there’d be a confrontation
And I know how much it breaks your heart
Let’s be pleased for him, he’s trying to make a brand new start

It’s not heaven but it’s all we’ve got
They have to understand it
…….. and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But life is all an illusion
Now we’re living in reality
And we’re gonna have a happy ending, you and me

We’ll spend the weekend playing, I hope it won’t be raining
When we go to the game with Dan
I know you think he’s boring but this time don’t ignore him Won’t you give him half a chance
No, he’s not as fun as Dad, but there’s good as well as bad
And hanging on to yesterday
I’m not trying to replace him, guess I’m really trying to say

It’s not heaven but it’s all we’ve got
They have to understand it
…….. and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But life is all an illusion
Now we’re living in reality
And we’re gonna have a happy ending, you and me

We’re together, I know we’ll survive
Rebuild our lives together, one day at a time

It’s not heaven but it’s all we’ve got
It’s not the way I planned it
…….. and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But life is all an illusion
Now we’re living in reality
But there’s gonna be a happy ending, wait and see
Yes, there’s gonna be a happy ending for you and me
You’d better hurry for the old school bus
