I heard them calling in the distance So I packed my things and ran Far away from all the trouble I had caused with my two hands Alone we traveled on with nothing but a shadow We fled far away Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran Some hid scars and some hid scratches It made me wonder about their past And as I looked around, I began to notice That we were nothing like the rest Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran Whoa, We sleep until the sun goes down Whoa, We sleep until the sun goes down Whoa, We sleep until the sun goes down Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran La la la, whoa, la la la We sleep until the sun goes down La la la, whoa whoa, la la la We sleep until the sun goes
