Taylor Trensch
A Million Miles from Heaven
STUDENTS/ENSEMBLE
I want to shine a light
I want to show the world
I want to dream in public

I want to bleed for love
I want your heart to break
I want to show them all

I want to know the way
I want to find an answer
But I’m left holding only questions
Tell me, when does it all get better?

All the rules I wanna break
And all the plans I wanna make
And I’m still a million miles from heaven!
Clouding up my vision
I am drowning in religion
And I’m still a million miles from heaven!

IVY:
If I could start again

NADIA:
If I could learn the game

IVY AND NADIA:
I need to be the reason

MATT: IVY:
Don’t wanna wait alone, but if I stay alone?
Don’t wanna lose a chance, if I use the chance?
Don’t wanna be forgotten. Could it all be forgotten?

STUDENT/ENSEMBLE
And I’m still standing here with a question
Tell me, when does it all get better?
Hold it together!
All the rules I wanna break
And all the plans I wanna make
And I’m still a million miles from heaven, (I’m still a million miles.)

Clouding up my vision
I am drowning in religion
And I’m still a million miles from heaven!

Where do I go? Where do I run? What do I want?
What will I need? When will I feel?
Where would I turn? What Should I show?
Why do I care? When will I know?
Why do I try? What do I feel? What do I need? What will I be? What do I know?
What will I show? Why do I need?

Without you, I am screaming
Can you hear me, are you even there?

What does it matter?!
All the rules I wanna break
And all the plans I wanna make
But I’m still a million miles from heaven!
Clouding up my vision
I am drowning in religion
And I’m still a million miles from heaven!

All the ways you never break me
All the places dreams will take me
Still a million miles from heaven!
Clouding up my vision
I am drowning in my own religion
Still a million from heaven!
Still a million miles
From heaven
