Lauren, you weren't boring, I'll make a stand
Like I do, but I'm soaring, it's three in the morning where I am
Oh, I need saving, won't you steal me away from the bad?
Strip away those parts of me I wish that I never had
I saw the way you looked, read you like a book
An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook
Well, I licked my thumb, turned to the page
Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way
To me like the brush of a hand, or a smile
If I'm lucky, you'll give me a piece of you just to hold for a while
Whoa, be careful when you touch me, 'cause I just might get burned
You're smoldering, and back to the ashes, one day you will return
I saw the way you looked, read you like a book
An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook
Well, I licked my thumb, turned to the page
Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way (ooh)
♪
Don't make me suffer, have mercy, oh, don't make me try
To be myself when my heart is still out on the staircase
Where we said goodbye
Oh, I'm spinning around with the words that could've been said
And the image of flickering lights forming halos on top of your head
Well, I saw the way you looked, read you like a book
An angel in the streetlights, a heart thieving crook
Well, I licked my thumb, turned to the page
Don't cover your eyes, you're trying to find a way
