One thing to keep in mind is that TMBG have a very playful nature about them that refuses serious investigation. Is this song about the tragedy of a loved one's death? Maybe a discussion of the tendency to "idealize" a new-found romance? I don't know, but from what I gather, this song is just an interesting situation: the loving of an actual angel and all the implications that are included. Don't take it too seriously guys... I mean their other "hit" is about a night light...
