You know the distance never made a difference to me     I swam a lake of fire I'd have walked across the floor of any sea Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen      And all that we believe So I thought you were like an angel to me Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy  If there were scarlet flags they washed out in thе mind of me Where a blinding light shonе on you every night      Either side of my sleep Where you were held frozen like an angel to me It ain't the being alone Sha-la-la It ain't the empty home baby   You know I'm good on my own Sha-la-la baby no it's more the being unknown So much of the living love is the being unknown You called me angel for the first time my heart leapt from me You smile now I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth And what's left of it I listen to it tick      Every tedious beat Going unknown as any angel to me It ain't the being alone Sha-la-la sha-la-la la la-la It ain't the empty home baby (Sha-la-la la-la-la) You know I'm good on my own Sha-la-la baby no it's more the being unknown And there are some people love who are better unknown          (Woo!)
