Angel Mom
Jesca Hoop Lyrics

Today on my birthday
The day is the birthday of the singer.

You were home when I arrived
The mother was present at home when the singer arrived.

You were standing in the doorway
The mother was waiting for the singer in the doorway.

When I pulled into the drive
The singer pulled into the driveway.

An excitement came over me
The singer felt excitement in seeing her mother.

And I rushed out of the car
The singer got out of the car quickly.

And I jumped up to be carried in your arms
The singer wished to be lifted by her mother in her arms.

I haven't felt that way
The singer felt special joy and happiness on this occasion like she felt it in childhood.

Since I was a child
The singer hasn't felt that happy since she was a child.

The dream went dark when my eye looked
The dream of the singer turned dark when she realized her mother was no more.

And I’d remembered that you'd gone
The singer remembered that her mother had passed away.

And I struggled there to fall back asleep
The singer had trouble falling back to sleep.

And I remembered that you'd gone
The singer remembered that her mother had left her forever.

And my grief was deep and my joy was happy
The singer had both grief and happiness at the same time.

‘Cause you visited me from beyond
The singer believed her mother visited her from beyond.

On my birthday
The mother visited the singer on her birthday.

My love
The song talks about the love the singer had for her mother.

My love’s missing
The singer misses the love she had for her mother.

My love’s far gone
The singer feels that the love she had for her mother is no longer with her.

Where will I find it
The singer wonders where she can find the love she had for her mother.

Hey hey hi do you hear me
The singer talks to her mother.

I feel somewhere you are here
The singer feels her mother's presence somewhere.

For when I talk to you I intensely feel you’re listening
The singer believes that her mother listens to her when she talks.

My only wish I wish that I could hear your voice
The singer wishes to hear her mother's voice.

Angel mom
The singer calls her mother an angel.

Later that day driving in my car
The singer was driving later that day.

I turned on the radio
The singer turned on the radio during the drive.

We were watching the graveyard stones pass by
The singer was passing by the graveyard.

And the songs they come and go
Songs were played on the radio, and they kept changing.

And the DJ played the song called enemy
The DJ played the song called enemy on the radio.

It was a song you know I wrote
The enemy song was written by the singer.

You were telling me that you know
The mother communicated with the singer through the radio.
