Wild Things Run

Underneath cathedral stars
We were saints and thieves
With untainted hearts
And every breath we breathed
Was a silent prayer to stay
We made a love
That set the world on fire
Turned all our critics into liars
We burned up the night
And never looked away
I'm not claiming
That we were sane
That kind of crazy
Cannot be tamed

Oh wild things run
Oh wild things run
If the angels start to weep
Then we'll know the devils won
Oh wild things run
Oh wild things run
They'll stumble in the dark
Just to chase a morning sun
Oh

The stars that crowned us
Fell away
And the silence
Started to betray
And every road that lay ahead
Was crumbling dust
Where the words
Used to rise up from our bones
Now we hum the tune
But we forgot the song
Every diamond that we made
Had turned to rust
If there's a God out there to trust
I hope he's as wild as us

Oh wild things run
Oh wild things run
If the angels start to weep
Then we'll know the devils won
Oh wild things run
To kingdom come
They'll stumble in the dark
Just to chase a morning sun
Oh wild things run
Oh wild things run
Oh wild things run
To kingdom come
Oh wild things run
Oh wild things run
