[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
A simple hug keeps you safe from the frost
We love to love when we're living with the both of us
As this twin channel is the symphony
This is love it's fallen from above
Maybe I don't say it enough no
But you know you mean the world to me
Done a lot of growing up in this last year
I've lost my mind and I fear so
Will I be dead and buried?
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
I never claimed to be no angel though
I tell you in the songs I wrote
The glass went smash that was in the past but hey
You know you mean the world to me
[Verse 2: Kyle Falconer]
I was in a bad place sent on a goose chase
Was running on the long blue mile of sweet disgrace
I'm taking this time to say sorry
This time to say sorry (full of drunken sorrys)
Wasted tears cast shadows on the years
And silhouettes of arguments are always near
A most unnecessary worry (unnecessary worry)
The fear creates the spaces for the races we can never win
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
I never claimed to be no angel though
I tell you in the songs I wrote
The glass went smash that was in the past 'n' hey!
You know you mean the world to me
You know you mean the world to me
You know you mean the world to me
You know you mean the world
[Verse 3: Kyle Falconer]
So I'll try, something spontaneous
Maybe a little obscene and hilarious
But with empathy
The most caring way I know how to say cause it's changed today
[Pre-Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
Titans clashed did you have a good laugh?
I was in the wrong place when the glass went smash
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
I never claimed to be no angel though oh-oh-oh
[Refrain: Kieren Webster]
We've done this
We've done that
It's all gone off the railings shouldn't think about that!
We've done this
We've done that
It's all gone off the railings shouldn't think about that!
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
Never claimed to be an angel though
I tell you in the songs I wrote
Never claimed to be an angel though
I tell you in the songs I wrote
Never claimed to be an angel though
I tell you in the songs I wrote
[Outro: Kyle Falconer]
The glass went smash that was in the past but hey!
We should never dim the lights

Bassist Kieren Webster opened up regarding the meaning of the song:
It’s just about what goes on at the end of the night. It’s about me and my bird arguing really. A pretty extreme argument. But then we make up in the end.
Lead singer Kyle Falconer opened up regarding the peculiar intro:
That bit from the start came from Owen [Morris, producer]. I’d only done the choir on the middle eight and then Owen put it on at the start. I went away to get a beer out of the fridge and I came back and he’s like, ‘What d'you think...
