Y ou know the distance never mad e a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire I'd have walked across the f loor of any sea
I gnored the vastness between al l that can be seen
And all that w e believe
S o I thought you were like an an gel to me
F unny how true colors shine in darkness and in secr ecy
I f there were scarlet flags th ey washed out in thе mind of me
W here a blinding light shonе on you every night
Either sid e of my sleep
W here you were held frozen like an an gel to me
It ain't the being alone
S ha-la-la
It ain't the empty home baby
Y ou know I'm good on my own
Sha-la-la baby no it's more the be ing unknow n
So much of the living love is the being unkno wn
Y ou called me angel for the fir st time my heart le apt f rom me
Y ou smile now I can see its pi eces still stuck in your teeth
A nd what's left of it I listen to i t tick
Every te dious beat
G oing unknown as any an gel to me
It ain't the being alone
S ha-la-la sha-la-la la la-la
It ain't the empty home bab y (Sha-la-la la-l a-la)
Y ou know I'm good on my own
Sha-la-la baby no it's more the be ing unknow n
And there are some people love who are bett er unk nown
(Woo!)
