You know the distance never made a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
And all that we believe

You know the distance never made a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
And all that we believe
So I thought you were like an angel to me
[Verse 2]
Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of me
Where a blindin' light shone on you every night
And either side of my sleep
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me
[Chorus]
It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la)
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
So much of the livin', love, is the being unknown
[Verse 3]
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
And what's left of it, I listen to it tick
Every tedious beat
Going unknown as any angel to me
[Bridge]
Do you know I could break beneath the weight?
Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you
That I'd walk so far just to take
The injury of finally knowin' you
[Chorus]
It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la)
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown
[Outro]
Mm-mm-hmm
Znate da mi se udaljenost nikad nije promijenila
Plivao sam vatrenim jezerom, prošetao bih podom bilo kojeg mora
Ignorirao prostranost između svega što se može vidjeti
I sve u što vjerujemo
Tako sam mislio da si mi poput anđela
[Stih 2]
Smiješno kako istinske boje blistaju u tami i u tajnosti
Da je bilo grimiznih zastava, oprali su me u glavi
Tamo gdje vam je blistalo slijepo svjetlo svake večeri
I obje strane mog sna
Tamo gdje su me držali smrznuti poput anđela
[Zbor]
To nije samo biće (Sha-la-la)
To nije prazan dom, dušo (sha-la-la)
Znaš da sam dobar sam (Sha-la-la)
Sha-la-la, dušo, ne, više je nepoznato
Toliko je livin ', ljubav, nepoznato
[Stih 3]
Prvi si me zvao anđela, srce mi je skočilo od mene
Sada se nasmiješite, vidim kako su vam komadi još uvijek zaglavili u zubima
I što je od toga preostalo, slušam ga krpelj
Svaki zamorni ritam
Idući mi kao bilo koji anđeo
[Most]
Znate li da bih se mogao slomiti ispod težine?
Od dobrote, ljubavi, još uvijek nosim za vas
Da bih do sada hodao samo da bih uzeo
Ozljeda napokon vas poznaje
[Zbor]
To nije samo biće (Sha-la-la)
To nije prazan dom, dušo (sha-la-la)
Znaš da sam dobar sam (Sha-la-la)
Sha-la-la, dušo, ne, više je nepoznato
A ima nekih ljudi, ljubavi, koji su bolje nepoznati
[Outro]
Mm-mm-hmm
