Lyrics
0:37You know the distance never made a difference to me
0:44I swam a lake of fire I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
0:51Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
0:57And all that we believe
1:00So I thought you were like an angel to me
1:12Funny how true colours shine in darkness and in secrecy
1:19If there were scarlet flags
1:22They washed out in the mind of me
1:26Where a blinding light shone on you every night
1:32And either side of my sleep
1:35Where you were held frozen like an angel to me
1:44It ain't the being alone
1:47Sha la la
1:51It ain't the empty home baby
1:54Sha la la
1:58You know I'm good on my own
2:01Sha la la
2:02Sha la la baby
2:04You know it's more the being unknown
2:09So much of the living love is the being unknown
2:21You called me angel for the first time
2:26My heart leapt from me
2:29You smile now
2:30I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
2:36And what's left of it I listen to it tick
2:41Every tedious beat going unknown
2:46As any angel to me
2:53Do you know I could break beneath the weight of the goodness love
3:00I still carry for you
3:07That I'd walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you
3:19And it ain't the being alone
3:23Sha la la
3:26It ain't the empty home baby
3:30Sha la la
3:33You know I'm good on my own
3:36Sha la la
3:38Sha la la baby
3:40You know it's more the being unknown
3:45And there are some people love
3:47Who are better unknown
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 So I thought you were like an angel to me Funny how true colours shine in darkness and in secrecy If there were scarlet flags They washed out in the mind of me Where a blinding light shone on you every night And either side of my sleep Where you were held frozen like an angel to me It ain't the being alone Sha la la It ain't the empty home baby Sha la la You know I'm good on my own Sha la la Sha la la baby You know it's more the being unknown So much of the living love is the being unknown 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 going unknown As any angel to me Do you know I could break beneath the weight of the goodness love I still carry for you That I'd walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you And it ain't the being alone Sha la la It ain't the empty home baby Sha la la You know I'm good on my own Sha la la Sha la la baby You know it's more the being unknown And there are some people love Who are better unknown
