Angelina Belle

Angelina belle, sitting there on my porch
heart still cold from some old blown out torch
and I'm not there to shower her with loving eyes
and she's thinking about some other guy
the football jacket wrapped around her tight
I need to get back and tend to her darkest nights
Angelina belle,
up for sale
and I'm gonna steal her away someday

Angel in blue jeans, standing on Embarcadero
as Golden Gate embraces the returning heroes
and I'm not there to distract her with my adoration
when she's wanting to grab the boys' attention
my heart races to run and keep her to my self
till she's ready to love, keep her up on the shelf
Angelina belle,
been through hell
and I'm gonna rescue her away someday

Angelina tells me where to go
she's painted like a pink flamingo
and I'm there, in the smoke, watching her
as she would bring out the ghost in her
the night wrapped around her like chiffon
she needs to hear a little melancholy song
Angelina belle,
heart like a carousel
and I'm gonna ride it till the world fades away

Angel in white gardenias, laughing like a waterfall
as this golden heart aches for her to call
and she's not here to swim in my adoration
she's always out there, drowning in boys' attention
her heartbeats are in tune with mine
and so I run to her tonight only to find
Angelina belle,
went off the rails
and I know I gotta save her some way

And I know I'm gonna pay someday
someday soon
for even as I am the tide to her moon
she'll recover from her emotional wounds
and leave me behind someday
but hey,
what can I say
I can't help but love her
so for now I'll do whatever I can to show her
she's something else in the world
not your ordinary average girl
even if she won't love me...

Angelina belle, sitting there on my porch
tears falling from some newly blown out torch
and I'm prepared to shower her with loving eyes
and she's thinking about giving up on guys
the cold evening wrapped around her tight
I find I want to get back with her, treat her right
but Angelina belle,
I know her too well
she's gonna steal herself away someday

But for now...I don't care

I LOVED every single word of this...it's like a song...I really tried to pick a favorite line, but they all go together so perfectly... I am sooooo keeping this

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
