Big Bad Wolf
The Wolf Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you've got to breathe
It's only where your feet fell
People so cool
Somebody wants you
A lover come back,
I want to dance like her,
Like nobody's watching
But nobody's watching

Forever meant nothing when we had nothing
Feel real
Now
Forever meant nothing when we had nothing

Even when you know
Hits you hard,
Leaves slow, comes back fast
When you can't take it
don't swallow your pain
Been around once
It'll be around again

Forever meant nothing when we had nothing
Feel real
Now
Forever meant nothing when we had nothing

That's the time it took
To calm these things
Better to have been with than live without it
Hold yourself, howl and scream
Finally feel everything joining underneath.

Dance
Dance
Now you dance
Green dance
Now you dance
Dance
Green green dance
Now you dance
Dance green green dance
Now you dance

Now you've got to breathe
It's only where your feet fell
People so cool
Somebody wants you
A lover come back
I want to dance like her,
Like nobody's watching
But nobody's watching

Forever meant nothing when we had nothing
Feel real
Now
Forever meant nothing when we had nothing

That's the time it took
To calm these things
Better to have been with than live without it
Hold yourself, howl and scream
Finally feel everything joining underneath.

Forever meant nothing when we had nothing
Feel real
Now
Forever meant nothing when we had nothing
Feel real
Now
Forever meant nothing when we had nothing
Feel real




Now
Forever meant nothing when we had nothing
