Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars talks about a relationship so good it feels heavenly, akin to a transcendental experience being with the loved one. The lyrics mention disbelief in love and miracles until finding that special someone. The inspiration for the song came from past relationships and the joy found in new beginnings. It was praised for its sound reminiscent of 80s bands but with a modern production.
Never had much faith in love or miracles Never would have put my heart on the line But swimming in your world is something spiritual I'm born again every time you spend the night
Cause your sex takes me to paradise Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise And it shows, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause you make me feel like I’ve been locked out of heaven For too long For too long Yeah, you make me feel like I’ve been locked out of heaven For too long For too long, oh oh oh oh,
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah ooh Oh yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah ooh! You bring me to my knees You make me testify You could make a sinner change his ways Open up your gates Cause I can’t wait to see the light And right there is where I want to stay, stay
Cause your sex takes me to paradise Yea your sex takes me to paradise And it shows, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause you make me feel like I’ve been locked out of heaven For too long For too long Yeah you make me feel like I’ve been locked out of heaven For too long For too long
Oh woah woah woah, yeah, yeah, yeah Can't I just stay here Spend the rest of my days here
Oh, woah, woah, woah, yeah, yeah, yeah Can't I just stay here Spend the rest of my days here
Cause you make me feel like I’ve been locked out of heaven For too long For too long Cause you make me feel like I’ve been locked out of heaven For too long For too long oh oh oh oh
