Wild Horses
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
"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
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
Never saw it coming
Now I can't relax
I'm all hypervigilance, under attack
Cuz I know a secret my friends don't understand
Safety's an illusion
Fate is all chance
"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
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
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
When I close my eyes
I still feel the grass, feel the sun
Oh wild horses, how you run
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
"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
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
Never saw it coming
Now I can't relax
I'm all hypervigilance, under attack
Cuz I know a secret my friends don't understand
Safety's an illusion
Fate is all chance
"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
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
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
When I close my eyes
I still feel the grass, feel the sun
Oh wild horses, how you run
