Another Set Of Wings
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight I couldn't make it to the moon
And looking at our pictures on the fireplace
Wishing it was me instead of you
It gets harder everyday but I keep on holding on
There's an angel looking out for me
Because I ain't well
I'm dancing all alone
'Cause I can hear you sing,
I need my angel
Like heaven needs another set of wings
Lately I just keep my windows open
Hoping I might feel you in the wind
And time heals all, but somehow I'm still broken
'Cause parts of me ain't ever gonna mend
There's an angel looking out for me
'Cause I ain't well
Though I try to be
I'm dancing all alone
'Cause I can hear you sing,
I need my angel
Like heaven needs another set of wings
I'm, I'm
I'm still missing you
I'm still missing you
There's an angel looking out for me
'Cause I ain't well
Though I try to be
I'm dancing all alone
'Cause I can hear you sing,
I need my angel
There's an angel looking out for me
'Cause I ain't well
Though I try to be
I'm dancing all alone
'Cause I can hear you sing,
I need my angel
Like heaven needs another set of wings

I keep staring at your door from down the hallway
I can't stop thinking about you, and I wish you were here with me
Tonight I couldn't make it to the moon
Tonight I'm feeling lost and alone, like I can't reach my dreams without you
And looking at our pictures on the fireplace
I keep looking back on our memories together, and feeling sad that they're over
Wishing it was me instead of you
I wish I could have taken your place and spared you from any pain or suffering
It gets harder everyday but I keep on holding on
Everyday is a struggle without you, but I'm doing my best to stay strong and keep going
There's an angel looking out for me
Because I ain't well
Though I try to be
I'm dancing all alone
'Cause I can hear you sing,
I need my angel
Like heaven needs another set of wings
I know there's someone watching over me, because I'm not doing well on my own. I feel like I'm dancing alone without you, but I can hear your voice guiding me. I need someone to help me, just like heaven needs another angel to keep it whole.
Lately I just keep my windows open
I'm trying to feel closer to you by letting the breeze bring your memory to me
Hoping I might feel you in the wind
I'm hoping to experience a small part of you in nature
And time heals all, but somehow I'm still broken
People say that time is a great healer, but I still feel like I'm desperately struggling to heal from the loss of you
'Cause parts of me ain't ever gonna mend
Some parts of me will always be broken and unfixable, because they were lost with you
I'm, I'm
I'm still missing you
I'm still missing you
I'm still longing for you, and I don't think that feeling will ever go away

This song reminds me of my grandma. I heard it for the first time just a couple of days after she died. I can't help but feel as though she sent it to me.
