I'm pretty sure this song is about a lover that died. The "walls" that she sings of in the first verse, they had been built in order to make the whole situation of living without her partner as easily as possible... in denial, perhaps. But then she allows the walls to fall down, and she's found a way of letting him in again "I aint never gonna shut you out". She is now able to grieve, "I can see your halo". Read it again from this perspective, it's heartbreaking :(
Lover...or loved one. I'm glad someone gave this interpretation.

I heard this song for the first time after my baby niece died, and every single lyric fit perfectly how I felt at the time. When she first died, I wasn't letting myself feel the pain of losing her, but I finally just let it all come crashing down and I missed her so much. I let her in. But now that I was letting myself feel the pain, I also felt her in everything beautiful that I saw. Her "halo" so to speak, I guess....

But now that I was letting myself feel the pain, I also felt her in everything beautiful that I saw. Her "halo" so to speak, I guess. I felt her presence everywhere, especially in the sunset. It's actually pretty freaky how closely the lyrics fit to what was going on then, and how I feel now. So yeah, it could be about someone who had a "Godly" impact on her life, but I think it could also be interpreted as feeling a passed loved one's presence. Letting the song have that interpretation for me is actually helping me cope with the pain.
What Sammylouk said is also pretty spot-on as far as what I got from the song. "I ain't never gonna shut you out" is after realizing that letting in the passed loved one is a better feeling than shutting them out. Kind of apologetic, but also a realization.

@sammylouk This is how I listen to it. my experience i had walls up, then my boyfriend pulled my walls down, i let me guard down, and then he was suddenly gone from this world. I hear the Halo, as he is my angel, i can feel him in the sun, he keeps me strong and even though i have new walls from my tragedy his Halo and love helps me keep them not as high.
