Cover art for Halo lyrics by Cage the Elephant

In the middle of this situation right now unfortunately. I like a girl who is hopelessly attached to a girlfriend of her past. To add to that, she just broke up with my best friend after dating for a week. He is still quite upset about it. So, I can't break guy code and date her or anything that is at all public. And the chances of heat of the moment kisses and confessions are dimmed because of her attachment and I deliberately put my self in the friend zone so nothing would happen that could ruin my friendship. So even the slightest show of affection or desire from her "reels me in so she can tell me that she loves me and we'll always be friends." Life sucks but this song is great.
