“Calling All Angels” is the first track and lead single from Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation. The song was inspired by a conversation lead singer Pat Monahan’s had with his therapist, as revealed in a 2015 interview with BuzzFeed:
She said, “Just remember that we are made up of angels...
[Verse 1]
I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe
And no safe place to put my head
When you can feel the world shake
From the words that are said
[Hook]
And I'm calling all angels
And I'm calling all you angels
[Refrain]
I won't give up if you don't give up
I won't give up if you don't give up
I won't give up if you don't give up
I won't give up if you don't give up
[Verse 2]
I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up
Some kind of hope inside of me
[Hook]
And I'm calling all angels
And I'm calling all you angels
[Bridge]
When children have to play inside
So they don't disappear
While private eyes solve marriage lies
'Cause we don't talk for years
And football teams are kissing queens (I won't give up if you don't give up)
And losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Is only what we want until it's ours
[Hook]
And I'm calling all angels
And I'm calling all you angels
[Outro]
And I'm calling all angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
(I won't give up if you don't give up)
And I'm calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
(I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling All Angels was written by Pat Monahan & Charlie Colin & Scott Underwood & Jimmy Stafford.
Calling All Angels was produced by Brendan O’Brien.
Train released Calling All Angels on Tue Jun 03 2003.
