[Verse 1]
You know the distance never made a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
And all that we believe
[Chorus]
So I thought you were like an angel to me
[Verse 2]
Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in thе mind of me
Where a blinding light shonе on you every night
Either side of my sleep
[Chorus]
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me
[Post-Chorus]
It ain't the being alone
(Sha-la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby
You know I'm good on my own
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
So much of the living, love, is the being unknown
[Verse 3]
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
And what's left of it, I listen to it tick
Every tedious beat
[Chorus]
Going unknown as any angel to me
[Post-Chorus]
It ain't the being alone
(Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown
