Sometimes angels clip their wings

I've been staring at pictures on my wall
Remember nights when I'd call you from the road
Pick me up and you'd drive my drunk ass home
Walk me in and we'd dance inside my room
Still look up and I see you in the moon
Honestly everything reminds me of you

Just go, be free
I don't wanna be losing a part of me
But I can't stand to see you losing parts of you (Mmm)
Sometimes the angels clip their wings
It's happened to you it's clear to see
And I don't want another cause of that to be me

Ooooouuuu
Ooooouuuu

I wished for you when we threw coins into the Trevi fountain
Now I'm isolated in Virginia mountains
Hopefully by Autumn this will all be fine

Sometimes when you were fast asleep I'd stay up writing you sonnets
Of how we'd see the galaxy and fly past comets
I had hoped that I could travel there with you sometime

But just go, be free
I don't wanna be losing a part of me
But I can't stand to see you losing parts of you (Mmm)
Sometimes the angels clip their wings
It's happened to you it's clear to see
And I don't want another cause of that to be me

So I've been trying
While you've been crying
On all these nights we've spent alone

And all my friends know
That I'm lying
When I say it's just a song
Maybe we're mistaken
And need to break it
Before our hearts turn into stone
And I can't help but think that we'd
Be better off alone

And I remember what you taught me as I'm leaving
The thing that gave your old tattoo new meaning
When you truly want something the universe helps you achieve it
