Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These factory walls have seen all of your sins
You drink too much to let anybody in
Your terrible heart beats for all you've seen
And your emptiness killed your every dream
[Chorus]
You wanna fly, but your heartbeat likes the wildlife
You wanna wear those pretty eyes again
You wanna dance on the blue sky of the light show
After all this, are you really gonna be my friend?
[Instrumental]
Factory walls have clouded all your gold
It's taken you a lifetime to grow old
All the roses that you planted in the park
Are dying like the moon dies in the dark
[Chorus]
You could fly, but your heartbeat liked the wildlife
I wish I had seen those pretty eyes again
You were the eye in the storm that killed the quiet life
You were the star that shone on me, my friend
[Bridge]
Looking forward at the strange mistakes that I have yet to make
Looking forward for days and days and days and days and days and days
[Chorus]
So I wanna be where my heartbeat likes the wildlife
Only to see your pretty face again
'Cause you went alone with the world into the wild night
Sweet, sweet friend, does this really gotta be the end?
So I wanna be where my heartbeat likes the wildlife
I wanna be where my heartbeat likes the wildlife
'Cause I wanna be where my heartbeat likes the wildlife
And I wanna be where my heartbeat likes the wildlife
