lyrics

I run so fast to get to places that I’m not prepared for
With no idea of what to do when I arrive
So I sit, shut up, stay still, face forward, pay attention
And hope to god I can survive

I’m running this rat race all day
‘Cause it’s what I’m told is right
Wide awake, afraid, and worried that I’m wasting time, thinking,
“Oh my god, is this my life?”

Is there a heaven up there?
Is there some point to all this?
Is there somebody who can guide me through what I've got to do, well?
Is there a heaven up there? Or should I even care?

At present, tense from all the changes, growing pains, rough transitions
My past runs through me, it’s cheaper than the movies, if I feel like wasting time
And future self, I wish you well, you’re living with my decisions
I’ll meet you someday when I'm out of time

I'm running this rat race all day
‘Cause it’s what I'm told is right
There’s no other option for me
Oh my god, is this my life?

Is there a heaven up there?
Is there some point to all this?
Is there somebody looking after me, I’m begging please, well?
Is there a heaven up there?

Say you’re with me, say it could be
Say it now while you still can
‘Cause it’s feeling like I’m slipping away
And I wonder if you care

Is there a heaven up there?
Is there some point to all this?
Is there somebody who can guide me through what I've got to do? Yeah
Is there a heaven up there? Or should I even care?

Is there a heaven up there?
(Gotta be a heaven up there)
Is there some point to all this?
(Gotta be a point to all this)
Is there somebody looking after me, I'm begging please, yeah
Is there a heaven up there? Or should I even care?

(Is there a heaven up there?) (Gotta be a heaven up there)
Or should I even care?
(Is there a point to all this?) (Gotta be a point to all this)
Or should I even care?
Is there a heaven up there?
