[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Anxious angel
I'll wrap you in heart-shaped bubble wrap, so
You won't get hurt, oh
To be soft is to be strong
Pretty angel
The happy crowd is standing in blinds, you see
See us weeping
IRL is not that fun
So we fake it when the show is done
[Chorus]
Baby, when the lights go out
Hold your breath and count
I will follow you down
We're the anxious angels
Baby, when the lights go out
Hold your breath and count
Then put your wings back on
We're the anxious angels
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Precious angel
I'll wrap us up in saltwater blankets, then
We'll ask the mermaids
If they can spare some room for us
Sweet, sad angel
You think everyone else got it figured out
They're just pretending
'Cause IRL is not that fun
So they fake it 'til they're feeling numb
[Chorus]
Baby, when the lights go out
Hold your breath and count
I will follow you down
We're the anxious angels
Baby, when the lights go out
Hold your breath and count
Then put your wings back on
We're the anxious angels
[Bridge]
We're the glitter in the darkness, ooh ooh
A pain inside me
We're the glitter in the darkness, ooh ooh
[Chorus]
Baby, when the lights go out
Hold your breath and count
I will follow you down
We're the anxious angels
Baby, when the lights go out
Hold your breath and count
Then put your wings back on
We're the anxious angels
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Sing with me angels, put those broken wings on)
Ooh, ooh
(Take my hand and fly)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
