Halo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Good and bad, I swear I've had them
Both, they're overrated
But isn't it fun
When you get hold of one?
Some gone bad and some gone back
The good ones all get taken
I'm callin' your bluff
You ain't strong enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus]
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Verse 2]
Say your prayers when you get scared
And pray you're gonna make it
And then when you're done
You keep fuckin' up
One day soon, I'll disappear
And if you'll come, I'll take you
Somewhere to go
To keep from growin' old
Good and bad, I swear I've had them
Both, they're overrated
But isn't it fun
When you get hold of one?
Some gone bad and some gone back
The good ones all get taken
I'm callin' your bluff
You ain't strong enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus]
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Verse 2]
Say your prayers when you get scared
And pray you're gonna make it
And then when you're done
You keep fuckin' up
One day soon, I'll disappear
And if you'll come, I'll take you
Somewhere to go
To keep from growin' old
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus]
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go-oh
[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Disappear, the light is fadin' (oh-oh)
Disappear outside their rage (oh-oh)
Disappear, I'm tired of waitin' (oh-oh)
Disappear before we get away (oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go-oh
[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus]
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go-oh
[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Disappear, the light is fadin' (oh-oh)
Disappear outside their rage (oh-oh)
Disappear, I'm tired of waitin' (oh-oh)
Disappear before we get away (oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
Halo, God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go-oh
[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“Halo”’s meaning is a little more scattered than most Foo Fighters songs but with bits taken from it, it seems to be about Grohl’s exposure of someone (probably a woman), and talking about what said someone did to him.
