Cage the Elephant - Halo Lyrics

Every time I get away
You find a way to reel me back in, ah
Tell me that you love me
Hold me tight so we can always be friends, ah
I swear
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, ah
Every time I get away
You find a way to pull me back in, ah

Why does it take so long?
Why does it feel so wrong?
Why does it take so long?

You knew I couldn't help myself
I had to lay low
Got so high, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo

Took me by the hand and said
"Remember all the good times we had?" Ah
I remember how you took my favorite knife
And slipped it under my skin, ah
I swear
I said it before, and I'll say it again, ah
Every time I get away
You find a way back under my skin

Why does it take so long?
Why does it feel so wrong?

You knew I couldn't help myself
I had to lay low
Got so high, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo

All my life with a skeleton
I had to let go
Got so high, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo
I lost my halo
I lost my halo
