Lyrics
She's feeling older today
Expresses a sense of aging or weariness in the female subject.
She knows that sometimes she feels so afraid
Acknowledges the woman's occasional fear or anxiety.
But all of the people say, "she's okay, she just needs a night away"
Despite concerns, people reassure her, suggesting she needs a break.
There's an angel in the city and she never looked so pretty
Introduces the idea of an angel in the city, symbolizing hope and beauty.
He never listened to her
Describes a man who ignored or neglected her.
He lived on his own in a whole other world
Portrays the man living in a separate, distant world.
And all he could ever say, "she's okay, she just needs some time away"
Others reassure that she just needs time away from him.
She used to think it kind of funny how he looked after his money
Recalls her amusement at his focus on money without considering her desires.
Without a thought for what she wants
Reflects on his lack of concern for her needs.
Shows up at the restaurant

Doesn't know if all the pain in her heart is her fault
Questions if the pain in her heart is her own fault.
After the laughter had gone
Describes a moment after laughter has faded, suggesting a somber atmosphere.
She wished that she'd had the chance to move on
Expresses regret for not having the opportunity to move on.
But as all the people say, every day, "life will get in the way"
Reflects on the inevitability of life's challenges getting in the way.
She's an angel in the city and she never felt so pretty
Reiterates the woman as an angel, emphasizing her newfound beauty.
Running through the evening fog

Checks the time in analogue
References her checking the time in analog, highlighting a moment of reflection.
Sees him standing by the door, wonders if he's been here long
Suggests the man's reappearance and her curiosity about his duration there.
Don't cry now you beautiful lady, come get a hold of your heart
Encourages the woman not to cry and regain control of her emotions.
Say goodbye to misery, baby, it's time to make a new start
Urges her to say goodbye to misery, signaling a fresh start.
We're gonna take you around tonight and soon you'll see
Promises to take her around, assuring that everything will be alright.
