Moonrise Kingdom lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was born all alone, you the same, babe

I was born all alone, all alone

Naked, we were as we came, babe

Naked we came, we would go on

Oh no, I ain't runnin' in vain, babe

Oh no, I ain't runnin' too far

It's just some beasts from the wild

Can't be tamed, babe

You know, you know who we are

[Pre-Chorus]

They don't know nothin'

Nothin' about us

Nothin' 'bout love or the fears that surround us

But you row the boat that I'm in

You know we'll both sink or swim

Baby, we're drowning, wiltin' like flowers

Chasin' the sun for the love that forgot us

And you know I'm breakin' again

You know im cavin' again

Baby, it's a wild world for you

Moonrise Kingdom only made for two

In these trees there's no escaping truth

They think they're saving you

They think they're saving you

[Chorus]

You gotta run!

Or they'll catch us and stop us from growing

You gotta run!

Hold my love in your heart and keep going

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

[Verse 2]

We were young smothered tight in the wolf's jaw

So lost in love, we're running out

We left home, we ran off to the woods awe

The beasts, the beasts, they scarfed us down

We prayed hard to a God that felt so far

We call louder now to no response

Started fires because it got so dark

Oh you said, we'd never smolder out

[Pre-Chorus]

They don't know nothin'

Nothin' about us

Nothin' 'bout love or the fears that surround us

But you row the boat that I'm in

You know we'll both sink or swim

Baby, we're drowning, wiltin' like flowers

Chasin' the sun for the love that forgot us

And you know I'm breakin' again

You know im cavin' again

Baby, it's a wild world for you

Moonrise Kingdom only made for two

In these trees there's no escaping truth

They think they're saving you

They think they're saving you

[Chorus]

You gotta run!

Or they'll catch us and stop us from growing

You gotta run!

Hold my love in your heart and keep going

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

Can't get they hands on it in the kingdom

[Outro]

I hope you learn to fall in love again

I hope you find a love in your best friend

Just know my heart is yours, until it's end

I want you, now forever, I'll repent

Baby, it's a wild world for you
