Wolves

(album: It Wasn't Perfect, But We Tried - 2022)

You can run, you can hide
But you need to find your way through the fire
Say your goodbyes, get away
'Cause you've gotta grit your teeth while you smile through all the pain
She said

You better turn a light on (Woo)
Keeping the dark at bay, woah
You gotta keep a light on (Woo)
Chasing the wolves away, oh
You better turn a light on (Woo)
Keeping the dark at bay, woah
You gotta keep a light on (Woo)

If I had it all (Woah)
I'd still prepare me for the fall (Woah)
And if I let the ground swallow me whole
I'll be fine because I know how to be alone

Oh I could take the weight of the world on
Yeah, I could take the weight on, woah oh
Yeah, I could take the weight of the world on my shoulders
The weight on, woah, woah, oh oh

Barricades fade away
And you wonder what's been keeping you safe
Run for your life, from the truth (Keep running, keep running)
Like you're staring down a gun and you got something to lose (Keep running, keep running)
She said

You better turn a light on (Woo)
Keeping the dark at bay, woah
You gotta keep a light on (Woo)
Chasing the wolves away, oh
You better turn a light on (Woo)
Keeping the dark at bay, woah
You gotta keep a light on

If I had it all (Woah)
I'd still prepare me for the fall (Woah)
And if I let the ground swallow me whole
I'll be fine because I know how to be alone

Oh I could take the weight of the world on
Yeah, I could take the weight on, woah oh
Yeah, I could take the weight of the world on my shoulders
The weight on, woah (Woah, oh oh)

I could take the weight of the world on
Yeah, I could take the weight on
I could take the weight of the world on my shoulders, ooh, ooh
She said

You better turn a light on (Woo)
Keeping the dark at bay, woah
You gotta keep a light on (Woo)
Chasing the wolves away, oh
You better turn a light on (Woo)
Keeping the dark at bay, woah
You gotta keep a light on

If I had it all
I'd still prepare me for the fall
And if I let the ground swallow me whole
I'll be fine because I know how to be alone

Oh I could take the weight of the world on
Yeah, I could take the weight on, woah oh
Yeah, I could take the weight of the world on my shoulders
The weight on, woah oh

Oh I could take the weight of the world on
Yeah, I could take the weight on, woah oh
Yeah, I could take the weight of the world on my shoulders
The weight on, woah, woah, oh oh
