Angels
Jake Coco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With every little word that you say

I can see you slipping away

And everybody's coming closer

Telling me that this is over
And I can see you slipping away

But I've seen angels turn into sinners

And I've seen summers turn into winters

Singing

Please, take me home tonight

Singing, singing

Please, take me home tonight

With every little thing that you do

Another little lie that comes true

And everything I know is deluded

You make me feel like I'm secluded

And I can see you slipping away

But I've seen angels turn into sinners
And I've seen summers turn into winters

Singing

Please, take me home tonight

Singing, singing

Please, take me home tonight

Home, home, home

Home, home, home

With every little thing that I hear

Another thing that I come to fear

You used to be so pretty, baby

And now I barely know you lately

And I can see you slipping away

Singing

Please, take me home tonight

I'm singing, singing

Please, oh, won't you take me home tonight?

Please, take me home tonight

Singing, singing

Please, please, take me home tonight

I'm a 53 year old rocker. Half way through the song when you blasted your voice with the guitar overlays was just assume, I bought the song because of that. Excellent job young man.

@TylerLevs

I played this song years ago and it's been one of the oldest songs I've been playing since I picked up a guitar. I just want to say thank you for inspiring me to pick up a guitar and play/ write my own stuff. If you're ever around the New England area I'll be one of the first to come see you.

@Taylaen

Seriously, For our sake, will a record label sign this guy on! Truly worthy of praise and recognition.
