Q&A
Angels Would Fall Lyrics
The rope that's wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It's better that way
So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
There's no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
I've crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I've dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
I'll come by and see you again
I'll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I'll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It's better that way
I'll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
There's no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
I have slept upon your pew
I've dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
I'll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
I'll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I'll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin

It's about falling for a friend who you don't want to fall for. Simple, no?
I dunno but it should say would, not will
The song was about when melissa had a crush on someone's girlfriend. It's melissa comparing the person as a out of reach or heavenly being. i guess as in putting them on a pedestal
Fits pretty well with the idea of having a friend whom you secretly love though. I am in such a situation right now and we have become pretty good friends too, i just wonder if it will evolve to something more
