i heard this in the movie foxfire too. my first impression of the song was that the "angel" is her child she had with the person who left. i've wondered what else the angel could be, but nothing else seems to fit.
"I haven't left this step
And when the lights go out
I pick the angel up
I only have two hands"
perhaps she is talking about how she would run after the one who left
but she has this "angel" to care for.she only has "two hands" meaning she cant do both.
Is she here?
Is she here right now?
Drive her off; don't bother to call
I'm checking out today
this is the only part of the song that confuses me. if the angel is her child then that cannot be the "she" being referred to here. perhaps this is someone her lover left her for. maybe she is saying 'drive off with her, dont call me, im leaving anyway'. checking out of a hotel? hospital? going to commit suicide? just some ideas.
