You know the distance never made a difference to meI swam a lake of fireI'd have walked across the floor of any seaIgnored the vastness between all that can be seenAnd all that we believeSo I thought you were like an angel to meFunny how true colors shinein darkness and in secrecyIf there were scarlet flagsThey washed out in the mind of mеWhere a blindin' light shone on you еvery nightAnd either side of my sleepWhere you were held frozen like an angel to meIt ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la)It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la)You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la)Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknownSo much of the livin', love, is the being unknownYou called me angel for the first timeMy heart leapt from meYou smile nowI can see its pieces still stuck in your teethAnd what's left of it, I listen to it tickEvery tedious beatGoing unknown as any angel to meDo you know I could break beneath the weight?Of the goodness, love, I still carry for youThat I'd walk so far just to takeThe injury of finally knowin' youIt ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la)It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la)You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la)Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknownAnd there are some people, love, who are better unknownMm-mm-hmm
