[Verse 1]
I’m at the drive through between Staples and Michaels
Keeping my angel wings in my windbreaker
My eyes are locked
On the sick man
Waiting for him to cough so I can jump in
Giving chest compressions
Giving mouth to mouth
I wait here every night
Keeping all of you in my sites
But I can’t seem to save every life
[Chorus]
No point in running if I never carve out a lead
What’s the point if I can’t be with these people need
Was I doomed from the start of it?
Was I not meant to be a part of it?
[Verse 2]
I see an old woman about to trip getting on the bus
And I throw divine energy behind me in a forward thrust
But just as I am to catch her
My beanie slips exposing a golden halo
And she looks at me and says
"you’re only an angel if I say so"
[Bridge]
"A comets coming in the morning better get your bus tickets!"
I’m screaming this in the station and I only hear crickets
The steering wheel is a serpents tongue
And it wraps itself right around my lungs
And it pulls me in to the buses mouth
And it tells me I’m never getting out
[Pre-Chorus]
The steering wheel is a serpents tongue
The steering wheel is a serpents tongue
And I know that I’m never getting out
And I know that I’m never
[Chorus]
No point in running if I never carve out a lead
What’s the point if I can’t be with these people need
Was I doomed from the start of it
Was I not meant to be a part of it
[Verse 3]
But just as I try to run
My shoes too tight
Fall down the stairs and I take six flights
A dark self born from the exit light
Clings to the railing ready to bite
And there’s no use waiting
For the moment I am waiting
For the moment I am waiting
For the moment I am waiting
And there’s no use waiting
For the moment I’m waiting
For the moment I am waiting
For the moment I am waiting
[Bridge]
Comets coming in the morning
Better get your snow boots
Not a thing left to plan for
Not a thing to do
Every word I say is a poison cup
Every move I make is a bad haircut
Every door you open is a door I shut
So what’s the point of trying to fix it up?
(But didn't you know that?
But didn't you know that?)
