He searched for those wings that he knew 
That this angel should have at her back 
And although he can't find them 
He really don't mind 
Because he knows they'll grow back 
And he reached for that halo that he knows 
That she had when she first caught his eye 
Although his hand came back empty 
He's really not worried 
'cause he knows it still shines 

I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
Or keep this tarnished halo shined 
But I'll never betray your [bad word] 
Angel mine 

I search all the time on the ground 
For our shadows cast side by side 
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy 
That you exist and are mine 
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real 
As that smile in your eyes 
But I have to keep touching and smelling 
And tasting for fear it's all lies 

I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
Or keep this tarnished halo shined 
But I'll never betray your [bad word] 
Angel mine 

Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps 
With your voice in my head 
And I could tell by your breathing 
That you were still sleeping 
I repeated those words that you had said 

I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
Or keep this tarnished halo shined 
But I'll never betray your [bad word] 
Angel mine
