Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
If it's loving that you want
Well, it's loving you'll receive
Cause' you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, the door is always open
If you need some company
You've come to the right place, baby
Heaven knows that I can't read your mind
We can turn it around
Darlin', one step at a time
Angel, oh angel, can't you see
That I can't live without you
So baby won't you help me please?
When there's no one left to trust
Well, I think that you'll agree
That you've come to the right place, baby
When you're down on your luck
Well, just look around, you'll see
That you've come to the right place, baby
Sometimes you don't know
What you've got until it's gone
Then you look around
And it was right there all along
'cause angel, angel, you've got to understand
That I don't want to be without you
Oh, won't you help me if you can
I ain't asking for the world
I just want you to believe
That you've come to the right place, baby
When there's no one else to hold you
Well, I'll be there yes indeed
Oh, you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, you've come to the right place
Oh, you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, you've come to the right place
Well, it's loving you'll receive
Cause' you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, the door is always open
If you need some company
You've come to the right place, baby
Heaven knows that I can't read your mind
We can turn it around
Darlin', one step at a time
Angel, oh angel, can't you see
That I can't live without you
So baby won't you help me please?
When there's no one left to trust
Well, I think that you'll agree
That you've come to the right place, baby
When you're down on your luck
Well, just look around, you'll see
That you've come to the right place, baby
Sometimes you don't know
What you've got until it's gone
Then you look around
And it was right there all along
'cause angel, angel, you've got to understand
That I don't want to be without you
Oh, won't you help me if you can
I ain't asking for the world
I just want you to believe
That you've come to the right place, baby
When there's no one else to hold you
Well, I'll be there yes indeed
Oh, you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, you've come to the right place
Oh, you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, you've come to the right place
