Take a deeper dive into the lyrics of “Like Heaven”

I know I don't compare
Not in a million years
You are a queen and I'm a pawn
But I want you for my own

It feels like heaven when you're here
How 'bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you're better than I am
You won't let me fall down

Was living on the edge
Now I hang with you instead
You helped me find that higher law
You broke the cycle and I'm forever grateful because

It feels like heaven when you're here
How 'bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you're better than I am
You won't let me fall down

The heart you bring to everything
Your light can thaw frozen ground
You made me feel like a king
I woke up wearing a crown

Think back to when we met
And something that you said
You said I could do great things
I started to agree
You got me to believe

It feels like heaven when you're here
How 'bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you're better than I am
You won't let me fall down
You're just like heaven
