Falling on Angels
[Verse 1]
Bright like the morning light
You were always by my side
I was always by your side
Now you're gone before me
[Pre-Chorus]
The world turns upside down
The mourning sun goes down
All the light goes out
[Chorus]
I call your name
Can't hear the beating of your heart
Just the echo of the sirens as they race, I hear them close
I call your name
Can't hear the beating of your heart
Where's the light when the dark comes to swallow me up whole?
[Post-Chorus]
Falling on angels
Steady me here
Tonight
Tonight, I need you
Falling on angels
Steady me here
Tonight
[Verse 2]
In the belly of the beast
I'm dragged down to the deep
When am I coming up to breathe?
When am I coming up to breathe? (Breathe!)
[Verse 3]
Now the days are cold and dark
In this summer of broken hearts
Days end before they start, before...
They're gone before me
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could just turn back time
If I could just stop the rising night
I just can't see
[Chorus]
I call your name
I hear the pleading of my heart
In the echo of my voice against the walls inside this hole
I call your name
Can't feel the beat of my own heart
Where's the light when the dark comes to swallow me up whole?
[Post-Chorus]
Falling on angels
Steady me here
Tonight
Tonight, I need you
Falling on angels
Steady me here
Tonight
[Verse 4]
Could August turn the tide?
And mourning break this night?
You were always by my side
And I was always...
[Bridge]
The morning breaks every day
When I awake, am I awake?
My heart breaks every day
When I awake
[Chorus]
I hear my name
Is that the pleading of my heart
Or the echo of your voice against the walls? I feel you close
I call your name
You are the beating of my heart
You're the light when the dark comes to swallow me up whole
[Outro]
Falling on angel
Steady me here
Tonight
