the angels knocking at your door / went thumbing through your sketchbook

they’re impressed by how sad it looks / you're sleeping in your bed at night

with such lovely dreams, real friends and chocolate ice cream

a real beautiful boy to take you home

when you want to, even if you never want to

wouldn’t it be nice if they just asked?

the angels knocking at your door / went looking through your wardrobe

they just wanted you to know / they love your band t-shirts and your

stolen shoes, though they don’t mean much to you

you would love it if someone

were to walk a mile, before you’re exiled

sent away x number of days

the angels knocking at your door / ain’t sure what you believe in

but they’ll call it even / at least they know you better than that

your heart is tender, even when you lose your temper

you try to remember to forgive

won’t forget you, even if they let you go

you’ll be sure to let them know

the angels knocking at your door / saw you posting on the internet

telling strangers of how much you wept / and a beautiful boy said he understood

those words of love, the pain you're speaking of

he said he’d be there to take you home

when you want to, even if you never want to

ain’t it nice he knew to ask?

then an angel came knocking at your door / saw you fighting with your family

and he just wanted you to see / there’s a whole wide world out your front door

free of feelings like anger and inadequacy

you’ll be finding serendipity

on the open road, who knows where you will go

with your angels and your dream boy
