Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up thinking you were still here
My hands shaking with regret
I've held this dream for such a long, long time
[PreChorus]
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart
That beats just like a rolling drum
[Verse 2]
I saw you standing on the corner
I saw you standing on your own
And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream
[PreChorus]
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart
That beats, that beats like a drum
[Chorus]
When I fall asleep, I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
I could run away, I could let them down
But I will remember your light
[Verse 3]
'Cause it follows me in darkness
I'm trying hard, but I can't win
And I've played the victim for a long, long time
[PreChorus]
And I wanna grow up
From the rhythm of a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart
They leave just like a river runs
[Verse 4]
Tonight, I sit over the parkway
The summer's gone and I'm alone
And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close
[PreChorus]
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart
It beats, been beating since you've gone
[Chorus]
And when I fall asleep, I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
But I will remember
[Chorus]
That when I fall asleep, I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
I could run away, I could let them down
But I know you're gone, but still
I will remember your light
[Bridge]
Well, if you see me in the darkness
I hope you know I'm not alone
I carry you with every breath I take
And I won't let up, I won't let up, no
Until the wind is gone
