Angel In The Streetlights
Streetlight Serenade: Longing for Redemption and Love
Lyrics
Lauren, you weren't boring, I'll make a stand
Expressing admiration for Lauren's uniqueness and making a commitment to take a stand.
Like I do, but I'm soaring, its three in the morning, where I am
Describing a moment of personal elevation at 3 AM and wondering about Lauren's whereabouts.
Oh, I need saving, won't you steal me away from the bad
Expressing a desire to be saved from negative aspects and seeking refuge from difficulties.
And strip away those parts of me I wish that I never had
Yearning for self-improvement by shedding undesirable traits.
I saw the way you looked, read you like a book
Noticing Lauren's emotions and understanding her like an open book.
An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook
Portraying Lauren as an angel in the midst of everyday life, albeit one with a captivating charm.
Well I licked my thumb, turned to the page
Referring to turning a page in the book of life, possibly symbolizing a new chapter.
Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way
Encouraging openness and honesty by advising not to avoid the truth.
To me, like the brush of a hand, or a smile
Describing the desire for a connection through simple gestures like a brush of a hand or a smile.
If I'm lucky you'll give me a piece of you just to hold for a while
Hoping to receive a part of Lauren to cherish temporarily.
Oh, be careful when you touch me, cause I just might get burned
Cautioning about the potential intensity of a physical or emotional connection.
You're smoldering, and back to the ashes, one day you will return
Acknowledging the transient nature of passion, with a suggestion that Lauren will return like ashes to ashes.
I saw the way you looked, read you like a book
Reiteration of understanding Lauren's emotions as depicted in a book.
An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook
Repeating the image of Lauren as an angel with a mischievous charm.
Well I licked my thumb, turned to the page
Continuation of the metaphorical act of turning a page in life.
Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way
Emphasizing the importance of facing reality and not avoiding it.
Don't make me suffer, have mercy, oh don't make me try
Pleading for mercy and not wanting to endure unnecessary suffering.
To be myself when my heart is still out on the staircase where we said goodbye
Expressing difficulty in being oneself after a painful farewell on a staircase.
I'm spinning around with the words that could have been said
Feeling disoriented with unspoken words and memories of a goodbye.
And the image of flickering lights forming halos on top of your head
Imagining flickering lights creating halos, possibly symbolizing a divine or special aura around Lauren.
I saw the way you looked, read you like a book
Reiteration of understanding Lauren's emotions through observation.
An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook
Repeating the metaphor of Lauren as an angel with a captivating charm.
Well I licked my thumb, turned to the page
Continuation of the symbolic act of turning a page in the narrative of life.
Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way
Encouraging openness and facing reality, urging not to shy away from the truth.
