Wolf & Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a cornfield now
Cuz I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Cuz habits come
I think they should go
It won't leave me no
It won't leave me no
I'm not fireproof
And the heat is
Burning through
I can feel it
I'm not fireproof
And the heat is
Burning through
I can feel it
Coming
Feel it
Coming
I can feel it
Coming Coming
Don't shut me
Cuz I shut down
And leave me in the cold
The smallest push thaws me out
And I
I reveal
What I've conceived
We stay alive
And we keep it real
We don't need to feel
I'm not fireproof
And the heat is
Burning through
I can feel it
I'm not fireproof
And the heat is
Burning through
I can feel it
Coming
Feel it
Coming
I can feel it
Coming Coming
It's a war
We both need to win
A tiny fall
A bigger spin
Hold the sunset till
It is field
In the sky it stays revealed
It's a war
We both needs to win
A tiny fall
A bigger spin
Hold the sunset till
It is field
In the sky it stays revealed
It's a war
We both need to win
It's a war
We both need to win
It's a war
We both

We both need to win
We must come out on top together
A tiny fall
Small setback
A bigger spin
Overcome a major challenge
Hold the sunset till
Savor the moment
It is field
Appreciate the beauty
In the sky it stays revealed
The truth remains clearly visible
