"Don't Need A Reason"
(Ted Barnes / Beth Orton)

Have you ever seen a sign
That upon a lifetime
There were angels?
You won't lose track
'Cause upon their backs
Feel the weight of wings

Why'd they fall? It's hard to tell
But some things you can buy yourself
Yeah, we only hurt the ones we love
While we don't need a reason
Only care for the thing we deserve
And that's something to believe in

I think I've seen a sign
But it's a very fine line
If you want it all
And don't lose track
Upon my back
There's no weight of wings

When they shine, it's hard to say
But some things never fade away
And we only hurt the ones we love
While we don't need a reason
Only care for the thing we deserve
Like something to believe in

So I've been calling angels down to earth
And I don't need a reason
Calling angels down to earth
'Cause I believe we need them

Yeah, we only hurt the ones we love
While we don't need a reason
You're gonna get all that you deserve
And all that you believe in

That you believe in
Do you need them?
If you need them
Do you know?
Do you need them?
If you need them
Who believes them?
Do you know?
Do you know?
Such a short time
