Lost Angel Nights Lyrics

[Intro]
Whatever makes you
Whatever makes you feel

[Chorus]
Lost angel nights
Never jaded eyes
Envy is no crime
Away from me's just fine
Lost angel nights
Never jaded eyes
Envy is no crime
Away from me's just fine

[Verse 1]
Yes, I've been in my own way
But in my own way
I kept it going, I kept it going for us
We had so much going for us
And I been losing my place
And in my place, a thousand imitations rose up
And I hope it's not too late to make up for all those

[Chorus]
Lost angel nights
Never jaded eyes
Envy is no crimе
Away from me's just fine
Lost angel nights
Nеver jaded eyes
Envy is no crime
Away from me's just fine

[Verse 2]
And so you slept all day
The world doesn't wait
And it kept on going, it kept on going around us
We had so much going for us
And I was losing my place
And in my place, a thousand imitations rose up
And I hope it's not too late to make up for all those

[Chorus]
Lost angel nights (I know you really had to fight)
Never jaded eyes (I know you really had to lift somebody)
Envy is no crime (Over to the other side)
Away from me's just fine (Over to the other side)
Lost angel nights (I know you really had to fight)
Never jaded eyes (I know you really had to lift somebody)
Envy is no crime (Over to the other side)
Away from me's just fine (Over to the other side)

[Outro]
I fell right in
I fell right in with you
I fell right in
Into the whirlpool with you

What did James Blake say about "Lost Angel Nights"?

It’s about a lot of things, but primarily it’s about worrying that you’ve missed your shot. And maybe there’s a little bit of finger-pointing in there as well. The way people take your original essence, copy it and move on, really. I’ve been super lucky in my career, but I think there was a time where there was a lot of looking at what the shiny new thing is, doing that, then moving on. You don’t need them anymore. It happens to a lot of people, but you have to contend with being a permanent person, a permanent artist. I want to be here for as long as I can and be as naturalistic and true to myself as I can be, and what other people do doesn’t affect that.
