Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 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
[Verse 2]
Why does it take so long?
Why does it feel so wrong?
Why does it take so long?
[Verse 3]
Knew I couldn't help myself
I had to lay low
Got so high, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo
[Verse 4]
Took me by the hand
And said, "Remember all the good times we had?" Ah
I remember how you took my favorite knife
And sticked 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
[Verse 5]
Why does it take so long?
Why does it feel so wrong?
[Verse 6]
You knew I couldn't help myself
I had to lay low
Got so high, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo
[Verse 7]
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
