Underneath cathedral stars
We were saints and thieves with untainted hearts
And every breath we breathed was a silent prayer to stay
We made a love that set the world on fire
Turned all our critics into liars
We burned up the night and never looked away

I'm not claiming that we were sane
That kind of crazy cannot be tamed

Oh, wild things run
Oh, wild things run
If the angels start to weep then we'll know the devils won
Oh, wild things run
Oh, wild things run
They'll stumble in the dark just to chase a morning Sun
Oh

Well, the stars that crowned us fell away
And the silence started to betray
Every road that lay ahead was crumbling dust
Where the words used to rise up from our bones
Now we hum the tune, but we forgot the song
Every diamond that we made had turned to rust

If there's a God out there to trust
I hope he's as wild as us

Oh, wild things run
Oh, wild things run
If the angels start to weep then we'll know the devils won
Oh, wild things run
To kingdom come
They'll stumble in the dark just to chase a morning Sun

Oh, wild things run
Oh, wild things run
Oh, oh
Oh, wild things run
To kingdom come
Oh, oh
Oh, wild things run
Oh, wild things run
