Sit back and enjoy it- Lips Of An Angel by hinder


Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
.Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was youI guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear our voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was youI guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice say my nameIt sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angelHoney why you calling me so late?
The first time I heard the song was my senior high.

I was totally amazed by he singer's elegant and racous voice on the spot. The melody of the song and the emphasis of the yrics make me think of it as a pure love song. But when I listen to it more attensively, I found that it's not just a simple love song.

The first sentense, "Honey why you calling me so late?", implies some clues that the man has some regrets for his past girlfriend, and therefore he empasizes the word, "late", for if she has done something much earlier, the results might be totally different. The sentense, "I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud", it is obvious that the reason is the latter sentense, "my girl's in the next room", and we can tell that the man still have some love for his might-be former girlfriend. Also from some keywords such as "sweet","lips of an angel",...etc, we can still find some evidence that there should be some remained love for her. However, the chosen girlfrind is not to be her, for that" you make it hard to be faithful", the reason of which is something that is not really clearly written in the lyrics. As we have seen, it's more than a love song. It shows the contradiction between the two love that a man met. There is no knowing that what we will do when meet this kind of condition. I hope that if one day I am the man with the complex situation, I will handle it well, and make things go as smoothly as possible, making sure that no body would be hurt.
