  • Wide-eyed with a heart made full of fright
    Your eyes follow like tracers 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 want to learn to love in kind
    'Cause you were all I ever longed for

    Sheltered, you better keep the wolf back from the door
    He wanders ever closer every night
    And how he waits begging 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 want to 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-I will hold you in it and I-I will hold you in it

    Been wondering for days
    How you felt me slip your mind
    Leave behind your wanton ways
    I want to 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 want to learn to love in kind
    'Cause you were all I ever longed for Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
