The story behind the song

"Just Like Heaven" was mostly written during recording sessions in southern France in 1987. Frontman Robert Smith wrote the lyrics, drawing inspiration from a past trip to the seashore with his future wife, which also formed the basis for the song's music video. An instrumental version of the song was even used as the theme for a French television show before Smith completed the lyrics. This song was the third single released from their 1987 album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.

The one that makes me scream" she said

And I promise you, I promise that

I'll run away with you

I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge

I kissed her face and kissed her head

And dreamed of all the different ways

I had to make her glow

"Why are you so far away?" she said

"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you

That I'm in love with you"

Daylight licked me into shape

Bm D

I must have been asleep for days

A E

And moving lips to breathe her name

I opened up my eyes

And found myself alone, alone

Alone above a raging sea

A E

That stole the only girl I loved

Bm D

And drowned her deep inside of me

[Chorus]

You

Soft and only

You

Lost and lonely
