Horses is a song about a love lost, although it starts out as a hopeful love song, it quickly devolves into one of loss and lament. Joseph compares love/relationships to horses running in circles around a track.
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna hold you hostage
I wanna set you free
If I could I'd pay your ransom
And give your eyes to see
You know my love, it will follow
If you only follow me
Your eyes will open up so easily
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna make you suffer
Or fill you up with shame
What I want is to protect you
Give you shelter from the rain
If you take my hand and maybe
Even take my name
We won't have anyone else left to blame
[Chorus]
See how the horses run
Round the track
Until the winner come
Wait for the sound of his gun
And then the horses run
[Verse 3]
I guess I was only dreaming
I'm here all on my own
I remember how you left me
Homeless in my home
But you said I had it coming
'Cause I've always done you wrong
But I was finding out where I belong
[Chorus]
See how the horses run
Round the track
Until the winner come
Wait for the sound of his gun
And then the horses run
[Chorus]
See how the horses run
Round the track
Until the winner come
Wait for the sound of his gun
And then the horses run
