[Verse 1]
You came in quiet
Teeth behind a smile
Soft word
Dark eyes
I was gone in a while
You traced my scars
Said you liked them rough
You were all warm hands
I called it love
[Chorus]
You’re a wolf on my chest
Tearing at the place I rest
Every kiss a little cut
Little mark
Now your shadow’s running through the yard
I still hear you in the dark
When you howl at my heart
[Verse 2]
You left your jacket
Hanging on my chair
Still smells like you
Like a dare
Like a snare
Friends say “forget”
But they don’t feel the bite
How you said forever
Then slipped out with the night
[Chorus]
You’re a wolf on my chest
Tearing at the place I rest
Every kiss a little cut
Little mark
Now your shadow’s running through the yard
I still hear you in the dark
When you howl at my heart
[Bridge]
I’m locking all my windows
I’m nailing every door
Still I hear your footsteps
Pacing on the porch (oh no)
I feed the silence
Starve the memory
But you still circle me
You still circle me
[Chorus]
You’re a wolf on my chest
Tearing at the place I rest
Every kiss a little cut
Little mark
Now your shadow’s running through the yard
I still hear you in the dark
When you howl at my heart
Yeah you howl at my heart (hey!)
