Have we lost our mind ?
Tell me baby why are we burning,
No one knows who’s started with this fire
Doesn’t matter since we’re both looking
to numb the feeling
And everytime we go out, I fly i fly mmm
I longed this moment for days
Put an end to my doubts
Now, it’s necessary that this endless time
ain’t coming with the shame anymore
So when I run with the wolves
I run with the wolves
Oh, I make real,
our memories won’t turn to dust
It reminds me no fear won’t ever break me,
And this far, see, I’ve never let myself distracted
So I run with the wolves
So I run with the wolves
So I run with the wolves
I won’t ever let you come back over now
(When you just stand here,
I am a warrior
I am a warrior
I am a warrior
When you just stand here
I am a warrior
I am a warrior)
Have we lost our mind ?
Tell me baby why are we burning,
No one knows who’s started with this fire
Doesn’t matter since we’re both looking
to numb the feeling
So I run with the wolves
So I run with the wolves
So I run with the wolves
I won’t ever let you come back over now
Come back over now

Never enough
Never enough
His knees on the grass you remember
There is nothing to blame nor no one to curse cause he's not enough for you baby
Already rough
Already rough
Your knees on the ground are you praying ?
Memories start to hurt but he wasn’t enough and leaving was tough for you baby
(Remember you got permission)
To go low
Remember, when you're feeling soft
(That every fall in your actions)
You get stronger
Out of Love and more than you know
This time, I ll carry you
Where do you wanna go?
Nothing we've set, until she said
“Running running after my Life”
I bet inside you won’t stop no
You won’t let it show
Nothing we've set, until she said
“Running running after my Life”
Oh oh
“Running running after my Life”
Oh oh
Never let go
Even I know
The scars that you got are forever
But it’s never the end, until you say it ends
And your not alone oh my baby
Oh and when you heart is bleeding
You know i am still here believing in you
Got time even late at night to call
(So don’t you ever forget, You got permission)
To go low
Remember, when you're feeling soft
(That every fall in your actions)
You get stronger
You get stronger, and more than you know
So this time, I ll carry you
Where do you wanna go?
Nothing we've set, until she said
“Running running after my Life”
I bet inside you won’t stop no
You won’t let it show
Nothing we've set, until she said
“Running running after my Life”
Oh oh

He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall, With the poor, oppressed and wholly, Lived on earth our Savior holy.
And our eyes, At last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love, For that child, so dear and gentle, Is our Lord in heaven above, And He leads
His children along, To the place where He is gone, And He leads His children along, To the place where He is gone.
