Wild Horses II Songtext
von First Aid Kit

Where are we going?
Something you asked me
While time was flowing like a river, and we
We had it coming, we saw the sunsets
We saw the night turn, it was a safe bet
Mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm

How can a lifetime fit in an hour?
The sky, it opened up, then came the showers, and we
Stopped at some motel with paper thin walls
And floral linens, and a bible in the drawer
Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones and I like Gram′s


We passed the canyons, we passed a fire brigade
Headed up the mountains, they set the woods ablaze
And then we got hungry, stopped at a diner
You flirted with the waitress, and I didn't even care
Mm-mm, mm
Mm

Where do you go to? When you look past me
Do you see yourself miserable and free?
Such a strange notion to see you clearly
When love′s shadow, stood up and left the room
Mm-mm, mm
Mm

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones and I like Gram's

"I hate who we've become", spoken like an absolute
Just listened to you speak, there was nothing to dispute
I guess something shifted, I guess something died
Thought I couldn′t change it, so I didn′t even try
Mm-mm, mm
Mm

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones and I like Gram's
You know I can′t let you slide through my hands
You prefer the Rolling Stones, but I like Gram's
