Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wide-eyed, with a heart made full of fright
You eyes follow like traces in the night
And the tightrope that you wander every time
You had been waiting, had been found wanting
[Verse 2]
Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[Verse 3]
The shelter, you better keep the wolf back from the door
He wanders ever closer every time
And how he waits baying for blood
I promised you everything would be fine
[Verse 4]
Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[Verse 5]
Hold my gaze, love, you know I want to let it go
We will stare down at the wonder of it all
And I will hold you in it
And I will hold you in it
[Verse 6]
Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna look you in the eye
'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[Verse 7]
Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause you were all I ever longed for
