Wolves
Maygen Lacey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One to love and one to lose
Sweet divine, a heavy truth
Water or wine, don't make me choose
I want to feel the way that we did that summer night, night
Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky, sky
I've been running with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you
I've been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you
Looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
All for you, yeah, all for you
I've been running through the jungle
I've been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you, oh, to get to you
Oh, to get to you
Oh, to get to you
Your fingertips trace my skin
To places I have never been
Blindly, I am following
Break down these walls and come on in
I want to feel the way that we did that summer night, night
Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky, sky
I've been running through the jungle
I've been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you
I've been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you
Looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
All for you, yeah, all for you
I've been running through the jungle
I've been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you, oh, to get to you
I've been running through the jungle
I've been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you, oh, to get to you
I've been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you, oh, to get to you
