Angel In The Streetlights Lyrics

Lauren, you weren't boring, I'll make a stand

Like I do, but I'm soaring, its three in the morning, where I am

Oh, I need saving, won't you steal me away from the bad

And strip away those parts of me I wish that I never had

I saw the way you looked, read you like a book

An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook

Well I licked my thumb, turned to the page

Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way

To me, like the brush of a hand, or a smile

If I'm lucky you'll give me a piece of you just to hold for a while

Oh, be careful when you touch me, cause I just might get burned

You're smoldering, and back to the ashes, one day you will return

I saw the way you looked, read you like a book

An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook

Well I licked my thumb, turned to the page

Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way

Don't make me suffer, have mercy, oh don't make me try

To be myself when my heart is still out on the staircase where we said goodbye

I'm spinning around with the words that could have been said

And the image of flickering lights forming halos on top of your head

I saw the way you looked, read you like a book

An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook

Well I licked my thumb, turned to the page

Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way
