Wolves
Selena Gomez & Marshmello Lyrics

In your eyes, there's a heavy blue
Your eyes convey a sense of sadness or turmoil

One to love and one to lose
A feeling of ambivalence, torn between love and the possibility of heartbreak

Sweet divine, a heavy truth
A bittersweet acknowledgment of a harsh reality

Water or wine, don't make me choose
Indecision between two equally good choices

I wanna feel the way that we did that summer night, night
Yearning for a past experience of strong emotions and freedom

Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky
A carefree, almost intoxicating experience of being in the moment

I've been running through the jungle
Metaphor for going through an arduous struggle to reach a goal

I've been running with the wolves
Metaphor for facing fears and embracing one's wild side

To get to you, to get to you
Driving force behind the struggle, goal is to reach the person addressed

I've been down the darkest alleys
A scary or dangerous path taken in search of reaching the goal

Saw the dark side of the moon
Experienced a difficult or hidden aspect of life

I've looked for love in every stranger
Desperation or confusion in searching for love

Took too much to ease the anger
Attempts to deal with negative feelings that may have hindered progress

All for you, yeah, all for you
Reaffirmation that the struggle has been for the person addressed

Your fingertips trace my skin
Intense physical and emotional connection between two people

To places I have never been
Exploration of new areas of intimacy or experience

Blindly, I am following
Unquestioning trust in the person addressed

Break down these walls and come on in
Request for the person addressed to become closer and more vulnerable

I've been crying with the wolves
Metaphor for experiencing pain and loss in pursuit of the goal

To get to you, to get to you, to get to you
Repetition of the goal to emphasize the importance and urgency of reaching it
