Lyrics
I sit and wait
I am patiently waiting
Does an angel contemplate my fate
Wondering if an angel is contemplating my destiny
And do they know
Do these angels have awareness?
The places where we go
Do they know the destinations we reach?
When we're grey and old
Referring to the later stages of life
'Cause I have been told
Referring to received wisdom or advice
That salvation lets their wings unfold
Suggesting that salvation reveals itself when needed
So when I'm lying in my bed
While lying in bed
Thoughts running through my head
Various thoughts running through the mind
And I feel the love is dead
Sensation that love is no longer present
I'm loving angels instead
Choosing to love angels instead of facing the absence of love
And through it all he offers me protection
Throughout challenges, angels offer protection
A lot of love and affection
Abundance of love and care, irrespective of right or wrong
Whether I'm right or wrong
Assurance of support, even in uncertain situations
And down the waterfall
Symbolic of facing life's challenges
Wherever it may take me
Acceptance of the unpredictable journey of life
I know that life won't break me
Confidence that life's difficulties won't overcome
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
Belief that angels won't abandon in times of need
I'm loving angels instead
Reiterating the choice to love angels instead of facing hardships alone
When I'm feeling weak
During moments of vulnerability
And my pain walks down a one way street
When emotional pain is inevitable
I look above
Looking to the heavens for solace
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
Confident in being blessed with love
Oh oh
Expressing emotion or realization
And as the feeling grows
The emotion intensifies
She breathes flesh to my bones
Metaphorically breathing life into the speaker
And when love is dead
When love seems absent
I'm loving angels instead
Choosing to love angels in such moments
And through it all he offers me protection
Repeating the theme of angels providing protection
A lot of love and affection
Continued love and care regardless of circumstances
Whether I'm right or wrong
Support whether the speaker is right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Symbolic of facing challenges with resilience
Wherever it may take me
Acceptance of life's unpredictable course
I know that life won't break me
Confidence in overcoming life's challenges
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
Assurance that angels won't abandon in times of need
I'm loving angels instead
Reiterating the choice to love angels instead of facing hardships alone
And through it all he offers me protection
Emphasizing the consistent protection offered by angels
A lot of love and affection
Continued love and care regardless of circumstances
Whether I'm right or wrong
Support whether the speaker is right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Symbolic of facing challenges with resilience
Wherever it may take me
Acceptance of life's unpredictable course
I know that life won't break me
Confidence in overcoming life's challenges
When I come to call, he won't forsake me
Assurance that angels won't abandon in times of need
I'm loving angels instead
Reiterating the choice to love angels instead of facing hardships alone
