The Gift
Angels Airwaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're awake then you're welcome to hear
I got a gift and it blew me away
From the far eastern sea, straight to here
Oh god, I feel like I'm in for it now
It's like the rush has gone straight to my brain
God, my voice is as lonely as loud
And suddenly
You've done it all
You've 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 though
With the taste of 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
And then I'll ask you to do it again and again
And suddenly
You've done it all
You've won me over
In no time at all
And now, I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light up a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world that 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, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
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 that 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 world we know disappear
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah

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.
