- by Sarah McLachlan
You spend all your time waiting for that
second chance
For a break that would make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh, beautiful release
Memory seep from my veins
Let me be empty, oh, and weightless
And maybe I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're so tired of the straight line, and
everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time, it's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
Oh, you are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
In the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
Oooh, oooh
