  • 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 Writer/s: Daniel Andrew Tichenor, Donald Bradley Shultz, Jared Lloyd Champion, Lincoln Parish, Matthew Ray Shultz
