Wild Horses lyrics

[Verse 1]

You wanted it too late

You wanted it too late now

I can't keep track of all your tears

You're crying rivers way too long

I'm tired of loneliness

And way more tired of wasted time

As I'm still, you barely look alive

These sharks will do so much good

[Pre-Chorus]

Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you

And summon everything you've held up in reserve

Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink

Try to keep your heart on higher shelves once

[Chorus]

What are you holding back?

I know you've wild horses on the inside of you

(Stop holding back)

Now slip the tattoo on

Serenity, it scorns your every move

(Stop holding back)

I pick you up this love

And no you don't have time without it

(Stop holding back)

I know I don't know much

But I do know when to preach

(Stop holding back)

[Verse 2]

You wanted it to work

You wanted it to work so much

But it's been broken in your hands

The minute that it found your hands

You're trying not to blink

And what you wanna see what is

It hasn't finished you

It's only that it feels that way

[Pre-Chorus]

Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you

And summon everything you've held up in reserve

Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink

Try to keep your heart on higher shelves once

[Chorus]

What are you holding back

I know you've wild horses on the inside of you

(Stop holding back)

Now slip the tattoo on

Serenity, it scorns your every move

(Stop holding back)

I pick you up this love

And no you don't have time without it

(Stop holding back)

I know I don't know much

But I do know when to preach

(Stop holding back)

(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back) (getting on an awake)

(Don't hold back) (getting on an awake)

(Don't hold back) (getting on an awake)

(Stop holding back)

(Don't hold back) (getting on an awake)

(Don't hold back) (getting on an awake)

(Don't hold back) (getting on an awake)

(Stop holding back)
