Verse 1
Go ahead and park after darkFallen star, I'm your one call awayMotel halls, neon wallsWhen night falls, I am your escapePre-Chorus
When you lay alone, I acheSomething I wanted to feelChorus
If you’ve been waitin' for fallin' in loveBabe, you don’t have to wait on me'Cause I've been aimin' for Heaven aboveBut an angel ain't what I needVerse 2
Not anyone, you're the oneMore than fun, you're the sanctuary'Cause what you want is what I wantSincerityPre-Chorus
Souls that dream alone lie awakeI’ll give you somethin’ so realChorus
If you've been waitin’ for fallin' in loveBabe, you don't have to wait on me'Cause I’ve been aimin' for Heaven aboveBut an angel ain't what I needBridge
Hold me oh so close'Cause you never knowJust how long our lives will beChorus
If you've been waitin' for fallin' in loveBabe, you don't have to wait on me'Cause I've been aimin' for Heaven aboveBut an angel ain't what I needWhat the song means
