Angels

Light reflects from your shadow

It is more than I thought could exist

You move through the room

Like breathing was easy

If someone believed me

They would be

As in love with you as I am

They would be

As in love with you as I am

They would be

As in love with you as I am

They would be

In love, love, love

And everyday

I'm learning about you

The things that no one else sees

And the end comes too soon

Like dreaming of angels

And leaving without them

And leaving without them

Being

As in love with you as I am

Being

As in love with you as I am

Being

As in love with you as I am

Being

As in love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

And with words unspoken

A silent devotion

I know you know what I mean

And the end is unknown

But I think I'm ready

As long as you're with me

Being

As in love with you as I am

Being

As in love with you as I am

Being

As in love with you as I am

Being

As in love, love, love

Chained

I watched you breathe in

And I wished you'd stop

Only for long enough

Long enough

It's hard to say

Separate or combine

I ask you one last time

Did I hold you too tight?

Did I not let enough light in?

If a feeling appears

If your mind should sway

It's not a secret you should keep

I won't let you slip away

We used to be closer than this

We used to be closer than this

We used to get closer than this

Is it something you missed?

We used to be closer than this

We used to be closer than this

We used to get closer than this

Is it something you missed?

Winged or chained

I ask you would you have stayed

Did I hold you too tight?

Did I not let enough light in?

Let's all go to the islands

I don't have to leave anymore

What I have is right here

Spend my nights and days before

Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored

Islands and cities I have looked

Here I saw

Something I couldn't over look

I am yours now

So now I don't ever have to leave

I've been found out

So now I'll never explore

See what I've done

That bridge is on fire

Going back to where I've been

I'm froze by desire

No need to leave

Where would I be

If this were to go under

That's a risk I'd take

I'm froze by desire

As if a choice I'd make

I am yours now

So now I don't ever have to leave

I've been found out

So now I'll never explore
