Feral
Boxed Wine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

she said stop, but I wouldn't listen, no
we stay on top, but we've been in a row
it's been a while, you know things haven't changed
it's just our style, it's just our day to day
wandering alone, trying to buy some time
it's been all done, i hope things end alright
and there's a dreadful sound, now I feel far gone
in a while I might run, run, run, run

but I tried to find you, so delightful
i tried to hide it, but I feel frightened

now I'm on fire, she won't let me go
feral desire, now I've been on my own
and there's a werewolf, werewolf coming
now I'm a werewolf, I'll be running, oh

so tag along, you don't know the half of it
they'll hunt you down, they'll have a laugh with it
and there's a dreadful sound, now I feel far gone
silver bullet in my gun, gun, gun, gun

but I tried to find you, so delightful
i tried to hide it, but I feel frightened

now I'm on fire, she won't let me go
feral desire, now I've been on my own




and there's a werewolf, werewolf coming
now I'm a werewolf, I'll be running, oh
