Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The starship is fallin'
No communication, no one's callin'
Only if I'd known this knowledge
I'd spread my wings and fly right by
[Verse 2]
She get to lookin' like she been waitin' for me
Contemplatin' a thousand days of war
She waitin' for me to pay for it
Love no more, love not war
I've been tourin' back and forth
If you hear a heartbeat, it's yours
No it ain't mine, I don't feel alive
So beam me up and let me meet my maker
So many questions I need answers to, the wake up
[Verse 3]
Can you tell me 'bout love?
Sit me down (Oh, God)
All these other people don't have a clue
(Nah, they don't know about it)
Can you help me out, me out?
God, would you please take a second and hear me out?
Oh, please
If I scream and shout, is it loud enough?
Enough for Heaven to hear me
Oh God, enough for Heaven
Dear God, do You hear me?
[Verse 4]
Software is crashin', oh no
I can't take too much more of this
S-O-S and no one's comin'
I'm hopin' God can solve my problems (Help me)
She still won't even look at me
She just keep on walkin' (Why?)
[Verse 5]
She get to lookin' like she been waitin' for me
(Waitin' for me)
Contemplatin' a thousand days of war (No-no)
She waitin' for me to pay for it
Love no more, love not war (Not war)
I've been tourin' back and forth
If you hear a heartbeat, it's yours
No it ain't mine, I don't feel alive
[Verse 6]
So beam me up and let me meet my maker (Me)
So many questions I need answers to, the wake up
Can you tell me 'bout love?
Sit me down (Oh, God)
All these other people don't have a clue
(Nah, they don't know about it)
Can you help me out, me out?
God, would you please take a second and hear me out?
Oh, please
If I scream and shout, is it loud enough?
Enough for Heaven to hear me
Oh God, enough for Heaven
Dear God, do You hear me?
[Verse 7]
If you grant me this wish, one wish, this wish
Lord I promise
I'll never ask for anything else
'Cause I can't do it by myself
It's too hard
I can't play God, that's your job
I'm just a simple man who needs his heart repaired
In purgatory, but not if she's there
I know I'm askin' for a lot, but
Tryna break these chains I'm locked from
I'll no longer be scared
If you're really up there
[Verse 8]
So beam me up and let me meet my maker
So many questions I need answers to, the wake up
(I need you, oh) Can tell me 'bout love?
Sit me down (Now-now, now, now, now)
All these other people don't have a clue
(Oh, they don't know about it)
Can you help me out, me out?
God, would you please take a second and hear me out?
Oh, please
If I scream and shout, is it loud enough?
Enough for Heaven to hear me
Oh God, enough for Heaven
Dear God, do You hear me?
