You only asked to spread your wings
I was a fool, I bought a ring
The omens follow me around
Ask me things like
Why and how, and why now? Why now?
All your excuses land
As weak as the motel coffee
I burn, I burn, I burn for you
Oh, Gabriel, what did you come here to say to me?
Come on in and tell me what to do
What do I do?
Was it me that flew too high?
Left you breathless in the brine
I didn't mean to drag you down
Both of us are drowning now
I'm drowning now, I'm drowning now
All my excuses land
As weak as the motel coffee
I burn, I burn, I burn for you
Oh, Gabriel, what did you come here to say to me?
Come on in and tell me what to do
I burned for you
Maybe there was no chosen one
Just more bad information
But if you are the messenger
Consider it done
Consider it sung
Consider it over
I guard the phone
Like a sentry pacing his post
But the morning never comes
The sun doesn't come up
All our excuses land
As weak as the motel coffee
Oh, and I've heard them all before
An archangel!
What did you come here to say to me?
I'll burn, I'll burn
I think I'll burn
I'll burn a little more
You only asked to spread your wings
I was a fool, I didn't think
