Angels - Adrianne Lenker
[Verse 1]
I step outside
and make my w
ay on from Car
olina
Any way the we
ather blows, h
/
ome is where I
find you
With the ache
inside to ride
the mighty wi
nd and nothing
more
Oh, I just wan
na see you the
re, sleeping o
n my floor
[Verse 2]
I don't really
like you, I j
ust wanna kiss
you
I don't know h
ow to love you
, but somedays
I miss you
Oh, I just wan
na see you the
re, sleeping o
n my floor
With the ache
inside to ride
the mighty wi
nd and nothing
more
[Chorus]
I'm calling on
angels now
I want them to
set me free
I hope that th
ey're real, ca
use sometimes
it feels
Like nobody's
listening
[Verse 3]
When I was onl
y twelve years
old, my paren
ts went a-walk
ing
I hate those w
icked words th
ey'd say when
they started t
alking
He was headed
for the open r
oad, she turne
d and slammed
the door
Learning love
ain't easy chi
ld, when all y
ou see is war
[Chorus]
I'm calling on
angels now
I want them to
set me free
I hope that th
ey're real, ca
use sometimes
it feels
Like nobody's
listening
[Bridge]
And the moon a
nd the sun and
the stars shi
ne bright and
high
And I can't he
lp but wonder
the way that t
he world goes
by
I hope that th
ey're real, an
d I hope they
can hear me cr
y
[Verse 4]
Pulling all th
e fences down
and pushing on
the levies
This water's g
etting high ag
ain; these han
ds are getting
heavy
And we are all
just hypocrit
es lying for a
shore
With the ache
inside to ride
the mighty wi
nd and nothing
more
[Verse 5]
She came and s
hook me tender
ly one night w
hen I was drin
king
The alcohol wa
s quick as san
d and took me
down to sinkin
g
The sinking to
ok me praying
and I fell upo
n the floor
I said I'm wai
ting for my ti
me to go, plea
se tell it to
me, lord
[Chorus]
I'm calling on
angels now
I want them to
set me free
I hope that th
ey're real, ca
use sometimes
it feels
Like nobody's
listening
[Outro]
And the moon a
nd the sun and
the stars shi
ne bright and
high
And I can't he
lp but wonder
the way that t
he world goes
by
I hope that th
ey're real, an
d I hope they
can hear me cr
y
I'm not sure i
f they're real
, but I'll wai
t for them 'ti
ll I die
