[Verse 1]
Got a halo in a leather jacket
Polished smile
Sunday shine
Says
"Kid
You know better than this"
Reads my guilt like a warning sign
Other side
Red boots on the dashboard
Flicking ash
Wild grin
"Let’s ride"
One hand pulling at my conscience
The other one burning up my pride (yeah)
[Chorus]
Angel on the left
Trouble on the right
One says
"Go home
" one says
"All night"
Head says
"Careful
" heart says
"Bite"
Angel makes sense
But the devil sounds right
Pulled in the middle of a neon fight
Angel on the left
Trouble on the right
[Verse 2]
She’s quoting all my past disasters
Cool water on a fever dream
"Every thrill you chase like a rapture
Ends up tearing at the seam"
He just laughs
Kicks over the rulebook
Says
"Scars make the stories good"
Angel’s painting me a safe tomorrow
Devil’s selling me the wild I wish I could (oh!)
[Chorus]
Angel on the left
Trouble on the right
One says
"Stand down
" one says
"Ignite"
Head says
"Don’t you dare
" heart says
"Fight"
Angel makes sense
But the devil sounds right
Pulled in the middle of a neon fight
Angel on the left
Trouble on the right
[Bridge]
White wings
Red tail
Same reflection
Both of them wearing my face
One’s a map
One’s misdirection
Which one do I chase?
She says
"Love yourself
You’re worth it"
He says
"Love the fall
You’ll learn"
Heaven’s in the promise she’s preaching
Hell’s in the thrill I burn to earn (yeah!)
[Chorus]
Angel on the left
Trouble on the right
One says
"Turn back
" one says
"Take flight"
Head says
"Stay pure
" heart says
"Goodnight"
Angel makes sense
But the devil sounds right
Caught in the crossfire
Black and white
Angel on the left
Trouble on the right (hey!)
Angel makes sense
But the devil sounds right
