Take it back and rewind this tape, or
Erase it black and you'll never think of him.
But we've had one chance to take back,
But over and over again
I’ll clean your wounds this time,
So we can rewind it all
To black on tonight.
I’ll tear into another lie (to you)
Cause you wouldn't take me home.
You're eyes are nice to be clear now,
Cause you wouldn’t take me home
You're right and it wasn't a mistake,
I never told you what you were missing
And I will feel the sign,
I will feel the way
And I will feel the sign,
To eternal sin
I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me,
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me,
We are the only ones we are running from
This time it's over,
It's all in my head
Now it's over (This time)
This time I’m coming home tonight.
(Just take me home)
I want to break it off,
(Just take me home)
We should stop cause there's nothing going on
(Just take me home)
I want to break it off,
(Just take me home)
We should stop cause there's nothing going on
(Just take me home)
We are the only ones
(Just take me home)
We are the only ones.

This is off the 'Capitol Demos' disc. It's nothing like the other 'No Angel' which is actually pre-Anthony (really old) but this one isn't bad. It's pretty easy to figure out I reckon, the speaker is basically saying their significant other; 'we should break up,' because "there's nothing going on" i.e. the relationship ain't goin' nowhere. Whatsmore, they basically want to get forget the whole thing. Thus the lines: "Take it back and rewind this tape" and "I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me." In the repeated line, "Cause you wouldn't take me home" the phrase 'take me home' is a metanym of 'taking me into your life.' By 'coming home tonight' themselves, the speaker is indicating that they have given up hope of the relationship moving forward, and are instead looking for a relationship elsewhere. Of course this is all my interpretation, I'd like to hear other peoples as well.
it's about time lyrics for this song came around. when i first heard this song, as well as new saosin via new singer, i wasn't too impressed. but after a while, i've come around, and this song is completely amazing.
"i never told you what you were missing" i love it.

Yeah, it took me a while to warm to this song, but I like it now, also I did prefer Anthony Green as the singer, but Cove is still fairly good in his own right.
This song now on the new Saosin self-titled ep (2005). The name given to it on this record is 'New Angel'.
does cove actually write the lyrics or what? i think i read somewhere that chris does..
the name is New Angel. change it
stricken, that's what ive read too. i believe, chris writes the lyrics. :]
very kewl song. i love the intro and the bridge. what i great breakup song.
Blah. This is the precursor to 'I Never Wanted To'. Man, No Angel was such a good track, why can't they ever just stick to the good stuff? lol
