I Had Angels Watching over Me - Wheat

I recall friends said

I had angels watching over me

Despite my total lack of caution in things

Now worried about my friendship

I had angels watching over me

Figured they were sitting next to me

But now

I’ll observe

And I can hardly find the nerve

To break the laws that they lay down

I recall friends said

I had angels watching over me

Thought that they were making fun of me

(But the bus is at the end of the line)

Now worried what my friends meant

I had angels watching over me

I used to think they did it casually

But now

Guess who won’t complain

And if angels use my name to make decisions

I fear for my life

How can I complain?

Cause they kept potential harm (?)

Spoke to me in simple language (?)

Chopping on my under stare (?)

Every little thing you loved

And all these things you never want to see

Mostly I stay inside

Driving with my eyes closed

I had angels watching over me

I guess I really wasn’t listening

Through my highs and my lows

I had angels watching over me

Figured they were sitting next to me

Never slow down you just keep going faster

You’re out there on some fire escape when all you’re looking after

The hurrier you go, the hurrier I go after

You’re out there on the (?)
