Wild Horses Lyrics

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

Everyones 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 6 feet below me

Never saw it coming

Now I can’t relax

I’m all hyper-vigilance

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

Everyones 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 6 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
