[Verse 1]
There’s a halo hanging over your head tonight
Flickering gold in the dashboard light
You look over at me like you already know
I’ve been losing fights I never showed
And darling, I know I’m hard to love
Half smoke, half damaged blood
But you hold my name like a prayer in your mouth
Like maybe I’m worth saving now
Your fingers trace the tattoos on my skin
Like reading every place I’ve been
And for a second I swear to God
I don’t hate the man I am
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause when you pull me close
The whole world disappears
No noise
No ghosts
No fear
⸻
[Chorus]
You’re my black water halo
My heaven in the low light glow
The only peace I’ve ever known
In a life that never slowed down
And if my heart breaks open someday
If the darkness finally takes me
I hope your voice is the last thing
Echoing through my bones
Cause loving you feels like
Standing barefoot in the rain
After years of drought
Finally believing
I deserve to be found
⸻
[Verse 2]
You cry quietly when nobody sees
Carry pain so elegantly
Like even your sorrow was made
To teach broken men how to breathe
And I wish you saw yourself the way I do
Moonlight soul, eyes burned blue
A heart too soft for this world
Still choosing love after all you’ve been through
I know forever sounds naïve
But forever’s every night you reach for me
Every sleepy “I love you”
Like you’re scared I’ll leave in my dreams
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
But baby, if my mind caves in
If the wolves come back again
Just hold me the way you did
That first night
⸻
[Chorus]
You’re my black water halo
My church beneath neon roads
The only hand I’ve ever held
That made me feel less alone
And if this world tears us apart
If time comes hunting for our hearts
I’ll spend every life after this one
Trying to find you again
Cause loving you feels like
A wound finally closing shut
Like every empty part of me
Was waiting for your touch
⸻
[Bridge]
So dance with me in kitchen light
Barefoot at 2AM tonight
While the windows shake from thunder outside
And let the world keep turning cold
We’ll grow old slow
Wrapped up in each other’s shadows
Like two lost souls finally called home
⸻
[Outro]
When they ask me what love was like
I’ll tell them:
It sounded like your laughter
In the middle of my worst nights
It looked like your sleepy eyes
Searching for me before sunrise
It felt like finally coming home
After being lost
For my whole life.
