Wolves

I was 15, still in the valley
 Walking in a parking garage
 First time I met a wolf in person
 At first I thought it was a dog
 I tried to dodge him, he was faster
 Than I'd ever had to be
 He smiled and howled in the same moment
 It knocked the wind right out of me
 ♪
 Though I got away
 ♪
 I never walked the same, mhm
 Now I bury my smile and show no interest
 Now I carry myself a little different
 Now I avoid the woods
 Now I know the wolves
 ♪
 I was 19, still fun at parties
 He plied me with shot after shot
 He assured me he was harmless
 Why did I ever trust a fox?
 I ignored all of my teachings
 How I survived, I can't believe
 I almost let him get his claws in
 Still knocks the wind right out of me
 ♪
 Though I got away
 ♪
 I never walked the same, mhm
 Now I bury my smile and show no interest
 Now I carry myself a little different
 Now I avoid the woods
 Now I know the wolves
 Mmm
 Mmm
 Saw a teenage girl on my street
 Talking tall to one of them
 Recognized him in an instant
 Heard about him from my friends
 Thank God women learned to whisper
 But I crave a megaphone
 That wolf said, "It's dangerous out there"
 That wolf said, "Let me walk you home"
 Now I bury my smile and show no interest
 Now I carry myself a little different
 Now I avoid the woods
 Now I know the wolves
