Matt Nathanson – Angel Lyrics 17 years ago
"you sounded so good on the phone
all moved up and all moved on
me and gravity we never could agree
I can almost see the sky
when I need to close my eyes
you're the only thing that's worth holding on to"

He talks to her again after a while, shes moved on her her life
hes trying to move up too but gravity brings him down
he can remember everything when he closes his eyes, like the calm of looking into the sky
she was the only one worth holding onto.


"angel you sing about beautiful things
and all I want to do is believe
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
and they just stoped working for me"

she says beautiful things but they're lies, all he wants to do is believe,
but he moves on, trading his dreams of a future, for memories because he cant take it.
but everything stops working for him.

"I'm not a monster I believe
like a liar would believe
helps me navigate the wooden smiles, the raging sea
all my heroes pull their heads
like a fighter would I guess
no one really ever likes getting older"

he thinks he did the right thing, unlike wat a liar (her) would beleive
and he stopped talking to her to help navigate wooden smiles r fake smiles, raging seas im guessing is inner turmoil
heros pulling heads i see as friends wondering why hes stuck over her
no one really ever likes getting older, growing up, being hurt.

i relate this song a lot to my ex who's name was angel and i broke up w because i couldnt take it.
a beautiful song.
