Every Angel
All About Eve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On our own trip
On our emerald ship we sail away
The ocean holds a thousand tales untold
With this love
It's easy come and easy go
Just like the way we were
Before the fall
I don't see the reason why
Every angel must fly
I'm betrayed by the tear in my eye
In my eye

Hey angel
Don't be afraid to earth your heart
When I see love descending like a dove
Confusion, the song you hear the blackbird sing
You fly to the sun
And you're going to burn your wings

You're flying too high
Just see the reason why
The angel must fly
No more tears in my eye




We can live in the sky
High

On our own trip
We are on our own journey


On our emerald ship we sail away
We move forward on our own path with confidence


The ocean holds a thousand tales untold
There is so much unknown in the future that excites us


With this love
Our relationship is special and unique


It's easy come and easy go
Our love is spontaneous and natural


Just like the way we were
We always had a connection


Before the fall
Before we encountered any difficulties


I don't see the reason why
I do not understand the logic behind it


Every angel must fly
Why do all good things eventually end?


I'm betrayed by the tear in my eye
I am upset by the thought of leaving


In my eye
I cannot hide my emotions


Hey angel
Addressing the person that I am about to lose


Don't be afraid to earth your heart
Do not be afraid to show your emotions


When I see love descending like a dove
When I see love appearing so abruptly and leaving so quickly


Confusion, the song you hear the blackbird sing
We are both unsure of what to do


You fly to the sun
You are reaching for new heights


And you're going to burn your wings
You risk hurting yourself trying to achieve your goals


You're flying too high
You are risking too much to try and succeed


Just see the reason why
Try to understand the risks before taking them


The angel must fly
It is natural for things to change and end


No more tears in my eye
I have accepted the change and moved on


We can live in the sky
We can move on and be happy, despite the past


High
Up in the sky, beyond our troubles

Even a fallen angel needs to hear the voice of the unfallen from time to time.
