Wide eyed, with a heart made full of fright 00:12

Your eyes follow like traces in the night 00:22

And the tightrope, that you wander everytime 00:28

You have been weighed, you have been found wanting 00:37

Been wondering for days how you felt me slip your mind 00:45

Leave behind your wanton ways 00:52

I wanna learn to love in kind 00:55

'Cause you were all I ever longed for 00:58

The shelter, you better keep the wolf back from the door 01:07

He wanders ever closer every night 01:27

And how he waits, baying for blood 01:35

I promised you everything would be fine 01:44

Been wondering for days 01:50

How you felt me slip your mind 01:54

Leave behind your wanton ways 01:57

I wanna learn to love in kind 02:00

'Cause you were all I ever longed for 02:04

Hold my gaze love, you know I want to let it go 02:14

We will stare down at the wonder of it all 02:32

And I will hold you in it 02:38

And I will hold you in it 02:45

Been wondering for days 02:52

How you felt me slip your mind 02:54

Leave behind your wanton ways 02:57

I wanna look you in the eye 03:00

'Cause you were all I ever longed for 03:04

Been wondering for days 03:13

How you felt me slip your mind 03:14

Leave behind your wanton ways 03:17

I wanna learn to love in kind 03:21

'Cause you were all I ever longed for 03:24

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Wide eyed, with a heart made full of fright

Your eyes follow like traces in the night

And the tightrope, that you wander everytime

You have been weighed, you have been found wanting

Been wondering for days how you felt me slip your mind

Leave behind your wanton ways

I wanna learn to love in kind

'Cause you were all I ever longed for

The shelter, you better keep the wolf back from the door

He wanders ever closer every night

And how he waits, baying for blood

I promised you everything would be fine

Been wondering for days

How you felt me slip your mind

Leave behind your wanton ways

I wanna learn to love in kind

'Cause you were all I ever longed for

Hold my gaze love, you know I want to let it go

We will stare down at the wonder of it all

And I will hold you in it

Been wondering for days

How you felt me slip your mind

Leave behind your wanton ways

I wanna look you in the eye

'Cause you were all I ever longed for

Been wondering for days

How you felt me slip your mind

Leave behind your wanton ways

I wanna learn to love in kind

'Cause you were all I ever longed for
