So I'm kind of in love with this song, and I'm also in love with IA's English bank. Like, seriously. CeVIO is SO fun to use. I'm officially back on my usual nonsense.

LYRICS:

Once upon a time, I thought I was an angel like everybody else
My skin, my eyes, my halo were the same as everyone else
Never had anything I was good at
Couldn’t do anything that I should have
Once upon a time, I thought I was an angel like everybody else

No one taught me how to sing those hymns, but I sang them anyway
No one showed me how to use my wings, but I could fly
Never thought anything of the distance that would set me apart from the others
‘Cause I still thought that I was an angel like everybody else

And they always cheered me on
And they always pushed me on
I was always taught to understand ten things from one

But I can’t
No, I can’t
Everyone’s so far away
Getting farther every day
Ah… I couldn’t see it for so long
It’s not like I want to do glorious things
I just wanted to fit in, standing tall and proud with them
Ah… I know it’s such a simple wish
BUT I CAN’T

When angels grow up, they exchange their school uniforms for suits and ties
No one tells them how or why; it’s just what they know to do
But I can’t live the way I’m supposed to
And I can’t work the way that I need to
Somehow, I couldn’t do anything like the others could

Is it something wrong with God’s design?
Dunno what he could have dropped this time?
Everyone screamed at me to understand ten things from one

But I can’t
No, I can’t
Everyone’s so far away
Getting farther every day
Ah… I couldn’t see it for so long
It’s not like I want to see beautiful things
Just a show on Sunday night’s all I need to feel all right
Ah… I know it’s such a simple wish
BUT I CAN’T

(No… No… No…)

What if one day
You couldn’t fly or sing at all
Even though you know your brain knows how
Your arms and legs just weigh you down
Could you imagine?

So I try to fly, but my wings deny and scatter dust around me
I don’t know if I am an angel or just some pathetic insect
But my heart, it beats, it keeps beating on, without my permission
I’m hungry, I’m greedy, I need money, I need money
I just…

Want to live…
Want to live…

But I can’t
No, I can’t
Everyone’s so far away
Getting farther every day
Ah… I couldn’t see it for so long
I don’t need my life to be anything special
Let me work and have some fun
Let me feel the warmth of love
Ah… I know it’s such a simple wish
BUT I CAN’T

Once upon a time, I thought that I could live like everybody else.
