Lyrics
He held his breath to hold your hand
To walk the stairsteps in pairs
Climbing up a slippery slope
I’m in love, love I hope
Don’t go home Angelina
Stay with me, hanging around in the lost and found
He kissed you quick, feeling weird
Lonely leered, and disappeared
This is such a simple place
The passing time can’t erase
Don’t go home Angelina
Paint tomorrow blue
Day breaks
But every morning when he wakes he thinks of you
I’m alone, but that’s okay
I don’t mind most of the time
I don’t feel afraid to die
She was here, passing by
Don’t go home Angelina
Stay with me, hanging around in the lost and found
Stay with me, hanging around in the lost and found
Note
After the fade-out, this song is followed by the instrumental track “The Roost” within the same track on the Figure 8 release.
