[ Featuring the Nightmares ]
Tired and out of breath she took me by the hand
She rested a while and made me understand
Why she walked a hurried pace
And kept a diamond jack up her sleeve for the just in case
Oh sometimes the stakes get pretty high
(But you can't touch an angel)
Just can't seem to figure out that girl's simple rhymes
(But you can't touch an angel)
Just can't seem to catch that girl no matter how I try
The signs say watch your step but she's not the careful kind
She don't believe no tall tales about water turned to wine
Her heart is a forbidden place
And late-night bedroom tracks disappear without a trace
Oh and I don't know why she hides
(But you can't touch an angel)
Just can't seem to figure out that girl's simple rhymes
(But you can't touch an angel)
Just can't seem to catch that girl no matter how I try
Ooo I get so tired
I can't understand
This blind desire
Life a fool
I walk this wire
Without a net
A spark turned fire
Between obsession and regret
This boy is torn
Like a broken locust limb
Fallen victim to a storm
And mornings come to realize
That I just can't live underneath this hooded compromise
Oh sometimes you can't fix damaged pride
(But you can't touch an angel)
I just can't seem to figure out that girl's simple rhymes
(But you can't touch an angel)
Just can't seem to catch that girl no matter how I try
No matter how I try
No matter how I try
No matter how I try
