[Verse 1]
Yesterday was kind of like the fourth of July
The way your face lit up the entire sky
Had to look away because it hurt my eyes
The way you hit me was a big surprise

Yesterday, I really didn't know what to say
I wasn't making any sense but it felt okay
Asked you if it was my birthday
This kind of thing don't happen every day

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I didn't think an angel would get in my way, hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I didn't think an angel would get in my way, hey

[Verse 2]
Yesterday I felt just like a child
A little curious, a little wild
Live in the moment and never go out of style
You know, its really been a while

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I didn't think an angel would get in my way
[Bridge 1]
Let me tell you
Excuse me, won't you step aside
I ain't got no room for you in my life
I don't got the patience to love again
I don't got the guts to keep you as a friend
Be an angel and fly away
I hope you reach some heavenly place
If you come back when you're all done
Bring me some raindrops from the sun

[Verse 3]
Today, I feel like I'm doing time
I didn't think it would be such a shameful crime
It's been a while since I let you go
But time don't let regrets go

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I didn't think an angel would get in my way, hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I didn't think an angel would get in my way

[Bridge 2]
So I gotta welcome angels, welcome angels, welcome angels, welcome angels, welcome angels
Gotta welcome angels, welcome angels, welcome angels
[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I didn't think an angel would get in my way
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I didn't think an angel would get in my way
