[Verse 1]
I'll drag you out when you're sleeping
Skip through the streets at the weekend
The trees around us are breathing
Our fears a lie
[Pre-Chorus]
And now we're holding on
The moonlight comes between us
Got to let it go
Let it go tonight
[Chorus 1]
We're out of the woods
We're running with wolves
Into the wild again
We'll never be tamed
We're singing it out
Running around
I figured it out
We're running around, running around with wolves
[Verse 2]
Our lungs are burnt but we're frozen
So wrap your arms round my shoulders
Just skin and bones in the open
Two worlds collide
[Pre-Chorus]
And now we're holding on
The moonlight comes between us
Got to let it go
Let it go tonight
[Chorus 2]
We're out of the woods
We're running with wolves
Into the wild again
We'll never be tamed
We're singing it out
Running around
I figured it out
We're running around, running around with wolves
We're running around, running around with wolves
[Interlude]
[Chorus 3]
We're out of the woods
We're running with wolves
Into the wild again
We'll never be tamed
We're singing it out
Running around
I figured it out
We're running around, running around with wolves
We're running around, running around with wolves
We're running around, running around with wolves
