The Last City - Worn-Out Halo

Our foot prints hide under falling leaves
As the sun peeks in through the naked trees
The colors sure bring life to this old scene
 
We found the corner where mystery's born
And grows into wonder before too long 
Cause I swear your eyes hold the truth that my heart needs
 
We stepped in quicksand with every kiss
And I cried more tears than I thought exist
but your worn-out halo still shines in my mind
 
So I'll lose my sleep getting right with God
And protect our hearts from the firing squads
I pray this victory needs nothing more than time 
 
If I can save you from myself
It'd be the greatest thing I've ever done
But I can't say you're not better off alone
Skipping stones between heaven and hell
Is just the latest game we've never won
But it still beats fighting and losing on my own 
 
Love won't come down to pros and cons
And it won't boil down to what's right and wrong
It all comes down to the thing you love
And the things you'd burn to keep it
 
Oh, I know it's iron that sharpens iron
but your fingertips are so soft they grind
just your standard miracle that hides
in the shadow of a secret 
If I can save you from myself
It'd be the greatest thing I've ever done
But I can't say you're not better off alone
Skipping stones between heaven and hell
Is just the latest game we've never won
But it still beats fighting and losing on my own 
If I can save you from myself
It'd be the greatest thing I've ever done
But I can't say you're not better off alone
Skipping stones between heaven and hell
Is just the latest game we've never won
But it still beats fighting and losing on my own
