They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run
Digging up the secrets that we never could face
Get out your knives, get out your swords
And cut away the ribbons, oh-oh-oh
It's time we go our own way
You never know where it leads us
But we can learn what it means to be safe and sound
[Pre-chorus]
Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby, even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
[Verse]
The king and queen of wishful thinking
They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run
Digging up the secrets that we never could face
Get out your knives, get out your swords
And cut away the ribbons, oh-oh-oh
It's time we go our own way
You never know where it leads us
But we can learn what it means to be safe and sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby, even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
[Chorus]
The waves went down, then they went back up
And there you are standing in the same old spot
If you would just let me in the door
I'll do the dishes and I'll sweep the floor
I'm not much for dancing but
I'm not afraid to try new things
Just take my hand, hold on for dear life
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
[Chorus]
The waves went down, then they went back up
And there you are standing in the same old spot
If you would just let me in the door
I'll do the dishes and I'll sweep the floor
I'm not much for dancing, but
I'm not afraid to try new things
Just take my hand, hold on for dear life
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
