"How To Hold An Angel" lyrics

Did you get lost? Did you take a wrong turn?
Is this what Heaven looks like here on Earth?
Just the way those curls kiss your face
Even the sun lives in your shadow
'Cause you're too good for this place

If you're here on purpose, if you're here to stay
It makes me kinda nervous, just thinking 'bout the way

The hearts down here stay broken
And the feet don't leave the ground
We're desperate for a hero
Just so we can tear 'em down
So, hang on tight to your halo
I won't let you fly alone
In a world that's human and painful
You gotta know how to hold an angel

I can't save you from every little thing
But I promise I won't let 'em take your wings
I would never want to fence you in
But it'd kill me to see somebody steal your innocence

The hearts down here stay broken
And the feet don't leave the ground
We're desperate for a hero
Just so we can tear 'em down
So, hang on tight to your halo
I won't let you fly alone
In a world that's human and painful
You gotta know how to hold an angel

How to hold an angel

If you're here on purpose, if you're here to stay
It makes me kinda nervous, just thinking 'bout the way

The heart's down here stay broken
And the feet don't leave the ground
The streets aren't made of gold here
On this side of the clouds
So, hang on tight to your halo
I won't let you fly alone
In a world that's human and painful
You gotta know how to hold an angel

You gotta know how to hold an angel
Yeah
How to hold an angel

Did you get lost? Did you take a wrong turn?
Is this what Heaven looks like here on Earth?
