Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, angel
Do you know the reasons why we look up to the sky?
Hey, angel
Do you look at us and laugh when we hold on to the past?
Hey, angel
[Verse 2]
Oh, I wish I could be more like you
Do you wish you could be more like me?
Oh, I wish I could be more like you
Do you wish you could be more like me?
[Verse 3]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 4]
Hey, angel
Tell me, do you ever try to come to the other side?
Hey, angel
Tell me, do you ever cry when we waste away our lives?
[Verse 5]
Oh, I wish I could be more like you
Do you wish you could be more like me?
Oh, I wish I could be more like you
Oh, I wish I could be more, I could be more, I could be more
[Verse 6]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 7]
Yeah, I see you at the bar, at the edge of my bed
Backseat of my car, in the back of my head
I come alive when I hear your voice
It's a beautiful sound, it's a beautiful noise
I see you at the bar, at the edge of my bed
Backseat of my car, in the back of my head
I come alive when I hear your voice
It's a beautiful sound, it's a beautiful noise
[Verse 8]
Hey angel
Hey angel
Do you look up to the sky?
Do you look up to the sky?
[Verse 9]
Oh, I wish I could be more like you
Do you wish you could be more like me?
Oh, I wish I could be more like you
Do you wish you could be more like me?
[Verse 10]
Hey angel
Hey angel
