If you're awake then you‚re welcome… Read Full Bio ↴There's a strangest excitement today
If you're awake then you‚re welcome to hear
I've got a gift and it blew me a way
From the far eastern sea straight to here
Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now
Its like the rush has gone straight to my brain
But my voice is as lonely as loud
As I whisper a joy of this pain
And suddenly
You've done it all
You won me over
In no time at all
And now I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear
If you ask I will do what you say
All we have is this night to get through
With the cheeks to the smile you‚re only
You left me all up in arms and confused
Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now
And how this kiss will be one roughly vague
I swear I'll melt if you touch me at all
But then I'll ask you to do it again, and again
And suddenly
You've done it all
You won me over
In no time at all
And now I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear
I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, yow
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, yow
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, yow
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, yow
And now, I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear
I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear.
Make the world we know disappear.
Make the world we know disappear.
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now

The Gift by Angels & Airwaves is a song about being overcome by love and the overwhelming excitement it brings. The singer expresses the feeling of being in awe of this gift of love that has come into his life from the far eastern sea. His excitement is palpable as he describes how he is willing to do anything for this gift and that it has won him over in no time at all. He even goes so far as to say that he will stop the storm if it rains, light a path far from where they are, and make all her fears go away. The selflessness and intensity of the love he feels in this moment is all-consuming, and the world they know melts away as a result.
The lyrics to The Gift represent the sudden, overwhelming feelings of love that can take hold of someone and completely transform their perspective. The song's dreamy sound and ethereal vocals perfectly capture the emotions the singer is trying to convey. The repeated refrain of "I'll stop the storm if it rains, I'll light a path far from here, I'll make your fear melt away, and the world we know disappear" is particularly effective in conveying the depth of his commitment to this new love.

I've been a Blink182 fan since they came out. When Tom formed AVA, I knew they were going to be excellent before I even listened to the first song. And they did not disappoint. Whenever I hear this song, I feel like I can do anything. Like I can move mountains. Like love can conquer all. It makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. This is the power of Tom's music.
