halo Lyrics by Poppy
I was fine for a minute
‘Til I remembered
You were somewhere on a distant shore
You left it as it was before
Caught wind of a panic
Does woe have a limit?
Still something ’bout it’s looking up
Or can an optimist self-destruct?
So wait it out
The road is winding narrow
It’s all you have
I know you can’t turn back now
I’ll follow where your light goes
‘Cause they don’t know what we know
A live-and-learn lesson
A lovers edition
I’m hanging on ’cause I trust
It’s easier than giving up
A million one reasons
And I’m full of ambition
And they’re gawking as we keep it hush
Question raising “You know what?”s
You know what?
Look at us
So wait it out
The road is winding narrow
It’s all you have
I know you can’t turn back now
I’ll follow where your light goes
‘Cause they don’t know what we know
You’re in a dream
You’re everybody’s hero
But it’s you and me
Still love you if the light goes out
I could fix your halo
Still, they don’t know what we know
The future’s never gonna wait
Every plan will have its place
I could fix your halo
They don’t know what we know
