Halo
Florenc and The Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Standing in the light of your halo
Pray it won't fade away

Halo
Halo
Halo
Halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Shining through my darkest nights
You're the only thing that I want
And I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I ain't ever gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Standing in the light of your halo
Pray it won't fade away

Halo
Halo
Halo
Halo

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Standing in the light of your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can see your halo, halo, halo




I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo, halo

Well, baby, they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you win
