When you leave this town with your windows down and the wilderness in sight
Let the exits pass on the tar and glass till the road and sky align
The strangers in this town will raise you up just to cut you down
Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming

And your Volvo lights lit up green and white with the cities on the signs
But you held your course in some distant war in the corners of your mind
From the second time around, the only love I've ever found
Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming

Hold me last
Hold me last
Were you safe and warm in your coat of arms with your fingers in a fist
Did you hear the notes or the static codes of the radio bells

The strangers in this town will raise you up just to cut you down
Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming
Oh, Angela, spent your whole life running away
Hold me last

Hold me last
Vacancy, hotel room, lost in me, lost in you
Angela, I'm on my knees, I belong, I believe
Hold me last

Hold me last
Hold me last
Hold me last
Hold me last
