Lyrics
ANGEL SLEEVES
Verse 1
I got too close to the edge, it's a long way down
Waited for the wind to catch me, before I hit the ground
Now every time I get back up
and wonder why I'm not dead yet
A leap of faith into your arms
Now it's safe to fall
Chorus
Holding on to your Angel Sleeves
Wondering how, you ever came to me
And I can't let go, because I want to believe
Holding on, holding on
To your Angel Sleeves
Verse 2
I thought I could fly on my own, now I'm not that strong
How many times must I fall, for a truth gone wrong
It's a fall without a parachute
A gravity that's in dispute
A leap of faith into your arms
Now I'm safe to fall
Chorus
Holding on to your Angel Sleeves
Wondering how, you ever came to me
And I can't let go, because I want to believe
So I'm holding on, holding on
Bridge
When I can't stay awake and I can't say goodnight
Here in your arms where everything's right
There's nowhere to turn that's better than this
I never want to live without you
Outro/Chorus
Now I'm holding on to your Angel Sleeves
Wondering how, you ever came to me
And I can't let go, because I want to believe
And I'm holding on, holding on
To your Angel Sleeves
To your Angel Sleeves
