Wild Horses Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn't wanna be a soldier
Wanted to be a child
Fall in love with the world
Feel alive
Forced to be a hero when I was left behind
Grew up in an instant to survive

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a miracle, the crowd all screams
Everyone's so proud of me
But I'm a graveyard
Oh, I'm in deep
Miss the person I never got to be
[Chorus]
Never got to be wild like the horses
Naive like a child
Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking
My feet were in the grass
Dancing through the trees
I saw it when heaven came falling, falling
Cried at cracks of thunder
Saw the flood appear
Swallowed everything I held near
Should've been wild like the horses
But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt
Six feet below me

[Verse 2]
Never saw it coming
Now I can't relax
I'm all hypervigilance
Under attack
'Cause I know a secret my friends don't understand
Safety's an illusion Fate is all chance

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a miracle, the crowd all
Screams
Everyone's so proud of me
But I'm a graveyard
Oh, I'm in deep
Miss the person I never got to be
[Chorus]
Never got to be wild like the horses
Naive like a child
Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking
My feet were in the grass
Dancing through the trees
I saw it when heaven came falling, falling
Cried at cracks of thunder
Saw the flood appear
Swallowed everything I held near
Should've been wild like the horses
But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt
Six feet below me

[Bridge]
I was way too young
I was way too young, way too
I was way too young
I was way too young, way too
How could you be gone?
How could you be gone, you be
How could you be gone?
How could you be gone, you be

[Outro]
When I close my eyes
I still feel the grass, feel the sun
Oh, wild horses, how you run
