Snow Patrol - Wild Horses Lyrics






Ooh, you wanted it too late
You wanted it too late now
I can't keep track of all your tears
Been crying rivers way too long
Ooh, I'm tired of loneliness
But I'm way more tired of wasting time
So still you barely look alive
These shocks will do you so much good

Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you
And summon everything you've held up in reserve
Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink
Try to keep your heart on higher shelves for once

What are you holding back
I know you've wild horses enough inside of you
(Stop holding back)
Now's not the time to learn
Serenity, it's gone to red from blue
(Stop holding back)
I think you want this love
And I know you don't want time without it
(Stop holding back)
I know I don't know much
But I do know when to rage
(Stop holding back)

Ooh, you wanted it to work
You wanted it to work so much
But it's been broken in your hands
The minute that it found your hands
Ooh, you're trying not to blink
For once you want to see what is
Ooh, it hasn't finished you
It's only that it feels that way

Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you
And summon everything you've held up in reserve
Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink
Try to keep your heart on higher shelves for once

What are you holding back
I know you've wild horses enough inside of you
(Stop holding back)
Now's not the time to learn
Serenity, it's gone to red from blue
(Stop holding back)
I think you want this love
And I know you don't want time without it
(Stop holding back)
I know I don't know much
But I do know when to rage
(Stop holding back)

  40. S.... ....

    So much energy in this song!..Absolutely fuckin Ace!!!

  41. M.... ....

    Okay... this isn't a cover of that Rolling Stones classic, just has the same name. Intentional?

  42. D.... R....

    Can´t wait for your acoustic concert in Mexico City this fall

  43. M.... O....

    These are the lyrics I hear!

    Ooooh, you wanted it too late
    You wanted it too late now.
    I can't keep track of all your tears
    been crying rivers way too long
    And ooooh im tired of loneliness
    but i'm way more tired of wasted time
    So still, you barely look alive
    These SHOCKS will do you so much good
    Just keep your wits about you don't let it end you
    and summon everything you've held up in reserve
    don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink
    try to keep your heart on higher shelves for once
    What are you holding back?
    I know you've wild horses enough inside of you
    stop holding back
    now's not the time to learn
    serenity its gone to Red From Blue
    stop holding back
    I pick you up! Its left!
    and I know you don't want time without it
    stop holding back
    I know I don't know much
    but I do know when to rage
    OOoh you wanted it to work
    you wanted it to work so much
    but its been broken in your hands
    the minute that it found your hands
    and oooh youre trying not to blink
    for once you wanna SEE WHAT IS
    oooh it hasn't finished you
    its only that it feels that way
    don't hold back
    gotta live wide awake

  48. a.... b....

    This manages to have both an 80s-electronic and a completely of-the-moment sound to it. These guys are such terrific songcrafters. Rhythm, song structure, melody, lyrics...they've got the whole package, consistently.

    a.... b....

    a bit like St. Vincent at times. same retro-modern mixture

  49. A.... ....

    I adore this song so much. Thanks, guys!

    Where do I meet all these people that love Snow Patrol as much as I do... None live in my city!

    J.... E....

    Kassandra Riddick OMG OMG OMG I LOVE YOY! YOU MADE MY DAY! My cousins gifted me a ticket to Ed Sheeran in Atlanta I had no idea Snow Patrol was opening. Omfg! It's crazy the first and only time I saw Snow Patrol, Ed opened for them. He wasn't known yet. OMG

    J.... E....

    Yes, they announced they would be touring with him about a month ago. I saw an interview with Gary and Johnny McDaid where they talked about the time Ed opened for them and how big he is now. I just hope they stay around. their music is one of the best things in my life

    J.... E....

    goodmythicalfire merly, you do know that they announced new headlining shows, right? one is in Florida. Fort Lauderdale

    J.... E....

    @Kassandra Riddick I went to the Ed Sheeran concert just to see them.... All my expectations were met!!!!

    J.... E....

    @Cynthia Kinzel-Brown I'm going to Maine to see them headline on Monday. I'm so excited!

  72. A.... ....

    Love this song so much! Has anyone figured out what Gary's saying on the last part of the song? It''s not in the lyric book for the CD. Edit: Figured it out: Gotta live wide awake!

  73. a.... ....

    Incredible, amazing and beautiful 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

  76. w.... w....

    Cool,I love this song.

  77. u.... ....

    it is hard to choose so many good songs on Wildness some are still growing on me listening to them more & more often  (In some lyrics i can find myself a lot going through my own tough periods) so it might change which song is going to be my ultimate favorite of this wonderful album. Heal me i especially like the extra version on the deluxe cd but this song is right now the most favorite followed by  a dark switch( i do love the video that comes along with A dark switch also a lot), what if this is all the love you ever get? & Life and death i think are right now  most favorite here.

  78. S.... ....
