Local Angels

Standing across from someone with a book
I want to know more about
Study the reflection in the mirrored car window
And pretend I'm spacing out

Local angels come and go
All of them I'd like to know
I just can't tune out all of this radio silence

Wish I knew how to start talking to a stranger
Without feeling like I'm creeping out
But if they were the one to come on over
I wouldn't know the hell to talk about

Local angels come and go
All of them I'd like to know
I just can't tune out all of this radio silence

Turn the other way
If they see me
I don't want them to know I'm looking
Waiting on the doors to close
But why didn't I say hello

I still smile when I see my
Platinum blonde barista waving
Waiting on me patient as I'm botching what I'm saying
Concentrating on ordering

Local angels come and go
All of them I'd like to know
I just can't tune out all of this radio silence

Turn the other way if they see me
I don't want them to know I'm looking
Grab my drink and go
But oh
But why didn't I get a number
