Everybody Wants You for an Angel

I go out running with your light
Then get too busy living
and miss some of the life
to be a legend in your mind
verse all of the voices fighting for your time
days racing by
running to catch them
I go running to catch them
And you fly on by
cuz everybody wants you for an angel

I stay up all night
burn my days making sure you're
sleeping free of fright
don't want to share you at all
but stealing every moment is just not possible

oh how your smile's
the coin of the kingdom
pays for the burdens
of too long a life

everybody wants you for an angel
long before I understood to tell you
how it would take away
and give to you as well
everybody wants you for an angel

all these days piling on
buried with hurting
worry and urging
I can't always hide

I smile before I break
look for myself
in every move you make
