[Verse 1]
Remember those walls I built?
Baby, they tumbled 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
[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule, I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Halo
Halo
Halo
Halo
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule, I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
And I ain't never gonna shut you out
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Halo
Halo
Halo
Halo
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo
Halo, halo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
