Somewhere there's speaking 
It's already coming in 
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind 
You never could get it 
Unless you were fed it 
Now you're here and you don't know why  
 
But under skinned knees and the skid marks 
Past the places where you used to learn 
You howl and listen 
Listen and wait for the 
Echoes of angels who won't return 
 
[Chorus] 
He's everything you want 
He's everything you need 
He's everything inside of you 
That you wish you could be 
He says all the right things 
At exactly the right time 
But he means nothing to you 
And you don't know why  
 
You're waiting for someone 
To put you together 
You're waiting for someone to push you away 
There's always another wound to discover 
There's always something more you wish he'd say  
 
[Chorus] 
 
But you'll just sit tight 
And watch it unwind 
It's only what you're asking for 
And you'll be just fine 
With all of your time 
It's only what you're waiting for  
 
Out of the island 
Into the highway 
Past the places where you might have turned 
You never did notice 
But you still hide away 
The anger of angels who won't return  
 
[Chorus] 
I am everything you want 
I am everything you need 
I am everything inside of you 
That you wish you could be 
I say all the right things 
At exactly the right time 
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why 
And I don't know why 
Why 
I don't know
