Rae Spoon — We Become Our Own Wolves lyrics

Lyrics

When things get bad, you better bet I feel the temperature drop.
It might be ten outside, but it’s forty below in my mind.
And I spend all day hunting and circling myself,
But when I have myself surrounded I never have the heart to finish it off.
Baby you know I love you, but I just can’t leave the house.
Baby you know I need you, but it’s not enough to fight myself.
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.
You know I want to rise above and learn how to trust.
The wild was not my friend, but it never did pretend.
And I spend all day measuring the color of the sky.
Should I go outside? Should I go outside?
Baby you know I love you, but I just can’t leave the house.
Baby you know I need you, but it’s not enough to fight myself.
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.
If I don’t have me I’ll have you. I’ll be a ghost for you.
