[English]

I've been looking for answers

I've been looking for change

I've been looking for dancers

In the middle of the rain

Might seem a mile away

It might seem insane

You could be a smile away

Could you feel my pain?

How do I reach you

What's underneath you

Keeping you safe and sound

Found what I'm chasing, heart's racing

When you're around it feels like

Angels over me

I've never seen them before

But I feel angels over me

I hear them sing, "I love you more

I love you more, I love you more

I love you more, I love you more"

Got the keys to the kingdom

And it feels like a cage

Had to look for the wisdom

Right there on the page

And are you kings and queens

And in-betweens, we're okay

Staying higher than the mezzanine

We're okay

How do I reach you?

What's underneath you?

Keeping you safe and sound

If you see me, do they see me?

When you're around it feels like

Angels over me

I've never seen them before

But I feel angels over me

I hear them sing, "I love you more

I love you more, I love you more"

It's only a case of denial

That messes with my inner child

But you bring out the best in me

And fill me with ecstasy

Like I haven't seen in a while

When you're around it feels like

Angels over me

I've never seen them before

But I feel angels over me

I hear them sing, "I love you more

I love you more, I love you more"

(When you're around it feels like)

Angels over me

I've never seen them before

But I feel angels over me

I hear them sing, "I love you more

I love you more, I love you more

I love you more, I love you more"
