Angel On My Bike

The Wallflowers

She knows just what I like
The angel on my bike
She found me down on a two ton anchor
Tangled up in wire
She always gets it right
The angel on my bike
I could be killed if the train goes faster
Well angel watch my life

I can't handle a care
I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer

It's 45 miles on that highway
Angel double prayer
I have to sleep with my eyes on the white lines
Elvis need of repair
I only want to believe
That angel it's me that you need
And there's only, only one heart on that highway
Angel double prayer

I can't handle a care
I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer
I can't handle a care
I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer

Now it's hard time on these wheels
These fairytales
Turn to rusted steel and it's
Gettin' hard now to believe
She's seein' me
Angel, please, tell me
Can't you see
Angel it's only me
Angel it's only me

Well I can't take a care
Man, I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer
I can't handle a care
Well, I want, but I can't be there
While angel's a prayer

    I think this song is about having one's life spared in a motorcycle accident. He feels a guardian angel was looking over him because he came out fine. I don't think the song is about cruising on the bike with his honey, mostly because of the "She found me down on a two ton anchor/Tangled up in wire" lyric. Passenger cars almost always weigh between one and two tons.

    she's the girl that brought him out of a deep depression, "She found me down on a two ton anchor Tangled up in wire" a depression that was continually spiraling downward (as it often does) but then she came along, but now she's also with somebody else, but perhaps she doesn't want to be? so he's going after her
