Angels

[Chorus 1] Wake me if you're out there [Verse 1] Through the glass in my bedroom window In the bushes far below I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow Among the ones I so clearly know I was sleeping with the night light unplugged With a note on the rocking chair That says, "I've been dreaming of the life I once loved So wake me if you're out there" [Chorus 2] Living close to the ground Is seventh Heaven because there are angels all around Among my frivolous thoughts I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts Wake me if you're out there [Chorus 2] [Verse 2] In the dust on my cellar staircase A pair of footprints followed me I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace Blinked again but there was nothing to see I've been leaving all the windows unlocked With a basket by the oak tree Because I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off If you'll be climbing up to meet me [Chorus 2] [Verse 3] I keep my knees black and blue Because they often hit the hard wood floor (Wake me if you're out there) And I believe so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore I was sleeping with the night light unplugged With a note on the rocking chair That says, "I've been dreaming of the life I once loved So wake me if you're out there." [Chorus 2] [Verse 4] The indications revealed (Wake me if you're out there) That few of us realize life is quite surreal So if you're dying to see I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity So if you're dying to see I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity
