Everything But the Wings Lyrics

It’s hard to describe
You’re like nothing I’ve ever known in my life
Time is flowing from down deep the sunrise
So selfness and complete

A beauty in and out
All around you not a single cloud
Like the rain just stops before it hits ground
And puddles at your feet

You’re an angel
I know heaven wonders where you are
Like you fell off some old shining star
Right into my heart
An angel,
When I’m with you I feel like a king
Just like out of some old movie scene
An angel, everything but the wings

Looking at you
It’s hard to believe that you could feel the way I do
Never thought I’d find so much love we’re falling to
Or perfect or true
So never go away
If heaven calls you back just ask if you can stay
I never find someone to ever take your place
You know they only made a few

You’re an angel
I know heaven wonders where you are
Like you fell off some old shining star
Right into my heart
An angel,
When I’m with you I feel like a king
Just like out of some old movie scene
An angel, everything but the wings

It’s hard to describe
You’re like nothing I’ve ever known in my life
Time is flowing from down deep the sunrise
So selfness and complete
 
A beauty in and out
All around you not a single cloud
Like the rain just stops before it hits ground
And puddles at your feet

You’re an angel
I know heaven wonders where you are
Like you fell off some old shining star
Right into my heart
An angel,
When I’m with you I feel like a king
Just like out of some old movie scene
An angel, everything but the wings
 
Looking at you
It’s hard to believe that you could feel the way I do
Never thought I’d find so much love we’re falling to
Or perfect or true
So never go away
If heaven calls you back just ask if you can stay
I never find someone to ever take your place
You know they only made a few
 
You’re an angel
I know heaven wonders where you are
Like you fell off some old shining star
Right into my heart
An angel,
When I’m with you I feel like a king
Just like out of some old movie scene
An angel, everything but the wings

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
