"Angels" Lyrics

Dancing barefoot in the grass like a witch, like a child
Raise your arms up to the sky, raise 'em high, raise 'em higher
If I had another day, if I could come, if I could stay
I'd clip your wings and sand your fangs, you would never get away

Fifteen steps between the two floors in your house
I would count 'em in my mind while I was sitting on your couch
I would trade my hands to have that day again
If I wanted two stubs and one less friend

I'm not waiting for the angels anymore
They were always there in front of me, should've seen them before
They're telling me tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Especially since this is just a dream

Sometimes beauty does the trick of lust, of desire
Immortality is no more thick than something beautiful that lasts forever
Spend our whole lives in a race for nothing lasting
But the way you touch me it lasts

Two hundred steps between my car and the rock

That we sat on near the beach as we watched the bottles bob
I would trade my eyes to have that day again
If I wanted to be a blind old fool still lonely in the end

I'm not waiting for the angels anymore
They were always there in front of me, should've seen them before
They're telling me tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Especially since this is just a dream

Shhhh, Can you hear them?
Shhhh, be still, can you feel them?
Just let them find you, reach out your hand and let them guide you

Fifteen steps between you and me and we
I would walk them in my mind while I was watching your TV
And maybe I should say a little prayer for us both
But then again, maybe I won't

I'm not waiting for the angels anymore
They were always there in front of me, should've seen them before
They're telling me tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Especially since this is just a dream
