Lyrics
Better Angels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not like I haven't tried and tried
It isn't where I look but what I find
I've been keeping clear
Of stepping on the cracks
This just enough to keep me coming back
Oh, I'm waiting for better angels
Oh, I'm waiting for any lead
And though oh, oh my case looks fatal
I'm still hoping better angels come to me
Better late, than not at all
Better to make the break, than take the fall
I wouldn't mind hanging on
If I could find out what I'm hanging from
Oh, I'm waiting for better angels
Oh, oh I'm waiting for any lead
And though oh, oh my case looks fatal
I'm still hoping better angels come to me
I'm waiting for better angels
Oh, I'm waiting for any lead
And though oh, oh my case looks fatal
I'm still hoping better angels come to me
Still hoping better angels come to me
Still hoping better angels come to me
