Shy Werewolf Fast Quickly

[Verse 1]
I saw a werewolf doing a fast quickly
Paws tripping over their own feet
Claws on the cobblestone
Breathing like they’d skipped a beat
It kept its hoodie pulled tight
Ears tucked down
Eyes on the ground
Tail trying hard to disappear
In a too-small
Sleepy town
[Chorus]
Shy werewolf
Racing past the streetlight
Blushing under borrowed fur
You made me friendly and kind that night
I just wanted you to feel sure
Shy werewolf
Hiding from your howl
But I knew the sky was alive
A new full moon coming around
And you didn’t have to run this time
[Verse 2]
You dropped a grocery bag on the corner
Cans rolled like tiny silver stars
You froze
Like trouble in a movie
Waiting for a door
Or a car
I just knelt
Picked peaches from the gutter
Said
“Happens to me all the time”
You glanced up
One golden flicker
Like you’d been caught in a crime
[Chorus]
Shy werewolf
Racing past the streetlight
Blushing under borrowed fur
You made me friendly and kind that night
I just wanted you to feel sure
Shy werewolf
Hiding from your howl
But I knew the sky was alive
A new full moon coming around
And you didn’t have to run this time
[Bridge]
Clouds pulled back like curtains
The round white truth in the sky
Your shoulders shook
You whispered
“Sorry
I’m strange
I try”
I laughed
“I saw you doing a fast quickly
You’re the bravest thing I’ve seen all year”
Then the moon lit up your worried face
And turned every sharp edge clear
[Chorus]
Shy werewolf
Standing in the streetlight
Smiling through your fangs this time
You made me friendly and kind that night
When you finally met my eyes
Shy werewolf
Howling at the sky
Now the whole town’s glowing bright
A new full moon
Everybody alive
And you don’t have to hide tonight
