Why blame the seconds down?
You’ve got no one else around
Broken you cry
Why make the demons stay?
Try to fuck the pain away
Twisted to lie

So I’m staring down my hands
The Bullets within the plans
Smiling you lose
Make the angry witness
Slide upon the sickness
Wearing old news

Angel on my shoulder
Calling to you
It’s the fear of getting older
And nothing left to do
Angel on my shoulder
Calling to you
It’s the fear of what I told her
And what it makes me do…

Drinking with the decoys
What it takes it destroys
Slowly you fade
The weekend life begins
We’re forcing on the grins
Making no waves

You’re staring out the stars
Blind to whom you are
Taking the bribe
Wish for something else
Damaging your health
Lost to describe

Angel on my shoulder
Calling to you
It’s the fear of getting older
And nothing left to do
Angel on my shoulder
Calling to you
It’s the fear of what I told her
And what it makes me do…
(I love you)

And the sound of your heart
Slow ticks itself apart
But still you run
Medicate the space
Feel you start the race
But already undone

I love you, I love you, x16

and when I’m broken down and through
I wake up, fixed up, next to you
and you don’t ask
“what’s on your mind”
or why I’m distant and unkind
being there is all you need
it took too long for me to see
I get it wrong but please believe
I only wanted you
for me

Angel on my shoulder
Calling to you

when I’m broken, down and through
I wake up, fixed up, next to you
and you don’t ask “what’s on your mind?”
or why I’m distant and unkind
and being there is all you need
took too long for me to see
I get it wrong, but please believe
I only wanted you for me

But I’m ok… I’m ok
I can’t have any other way
