Wolves Lyrics by Jensen McRae

Are You Happy Now?

2020

[Verse 1]
I was 15, still in the valley
Walking in a parking garage
First time I met a wolf in person
At first I thought it was a dog
I tried to dodge him, he was faster
Than I'd ever had to be
He smiled and howled in the same moment
It knocked the wind right out of me

[Pre-Chorus]
And though I got away
I never walked the same

[Chorus]
Now I bury my smile and show no interest
Now I carry myself a little different
Now I avoid the woods
Now I know the wolves

[Verse 2]
I was 19, still fun at parties
He plied me with shot after shot
He assured me he was harmless
Why did I ever trust a fox?
I ignored all of my teachings
How I survived, I can't believe
I almost let him get his claws in
Still knocks the wind right outta me

[Pre-Chorus]
And though I got away
I never walked the same

[Chorus]
Now I bury my smile and show no interest
Now I carry myself a little different
Now I avoid the woods
Now I know the wolves
Mmm, mmm

[Verse 3]
Saw a teenage girl on my street
Talking tall to one of them
Recognized him in an instant
Heard about him from my friends
Thank God women learned to whisper
But I crave a megaphone
That wolf said: "It's dangerous out there"
That wolf said: "Let me walk you home"

[Chorus]
Now I bury my smile and show no interest
Now I carry myself a little different
Now I avoid the woods
Now I know the wolves
