The Woods

[Verse 1]

Twig crack

I coulda sworn I felt breath on my neck

It could be paranoia, or best yet

A couple hands to hold ya

And footsteps

No, don’t look yet

[Pre-Chorus]

Whispers, is it the wind with no one to listen?

Or is it him behind me with blisters

All on his hands from knives in the kitchen?

Bet he missed this

[Chorus]

“Don’t be scared”

“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”

I don’t care

Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would

I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to

When he tells me I could leave

He knows that I’d nevеr choose to

Do I dare chase thе devil down?

I’m hooked on you, the woods

[Verse 2]

I couldn’t leave it, that letter in blood

I saw it by the staircase buried under dust

I rip it open, read it, and how could I go?

His invitation, four AM, he knows I’ll show

[Pre-Chorus]

I better go, don’t wanna be late

For what could be magic, misery take more of me

I’ll give him everything

Savor, sin, and safeguard

[Chorus]

“Don’t be scared”

“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”

I don’t care

Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would

I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to

When he tells me I could leave

He knows that I’d never choose to

Do I dare chase the devil down?

I’m hooked on you, the woods
