lyrics

The Angel By My Side

She moves in small circles with concern and care;
her influence felt by all even though she hardly seems there.
In and out, come and go, and quickly she moves on,
to the many out there still in need before her day is gone.
Oh, but when we’re together I’m the one with the jazzy stride
that towers over and shadows
the Angel by my side.

That’s me making all the noise, building up myself,
as she apologizes for my mistakes and well, for everything else.
So I’m Quick to anger, slow to forgive,
and heaven help if you should tread on me,
but she sees from love’s filter, for all that I can be.
We’re a study of opposites, and it’s a wonder we coincide,
and that’s me standing pretentiously
with the Angel by my side.

I know the score, what matters most, what it is I should do,
but it’s easier to pretend that I have nothing to offer to.
After all, she’s does good enough for us both, without causing a stir
I just hope when I get to paradise, I can just say, “I’m with her.”

Oh, she’s off to save the world and I should really take her lead,
but I haven’t come to terms with accepting what I need.
So I’m the king of the hill, the man on top, to impress all of them,
as she casts a knowing glance, but loves me for who I am.
Oh, I may fool everyone else that I’m the one who can’t be denied,
but deep inside, who matters most is the Angel by my side.

It may seem to you I stand alone, self-absorbed and full of pride,
but I’m the man who’s so in love with the Angel by my side.
