Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were eyes wide open when the world got dark
Dancin' to the rhythm that felt so hard, you could feel it
You could feel it
And blood ice cold, baby, racin’ through my veins
Chasing down a feeling that I can't explain but I need it
Yeah, I need it
And the wild dogs callin' from the other side
Come on over, we could run all night
Woo-hoo, hoo-hoo

[Pre-Chorus]
And the world just stops
But the night goes on
And the strangest sound
Like a wave that keeps on crashing over me

[Chorus]
And when you hear it callin’
Out underneath your window
There's a world outside that's waiting
Saying come on, come on, come on
We got a restless feeling
And in a world of people
There's only you and me
Wild dogs runnin' in a slow dream (Oh-whoa)
Wild dogs runnin' in a slow dream
[Verse 2]
We would crash hard fallin' like a waterfall
Slow, sweat dancin' in the music hall, we were shinin’
Yeah, we were tryin’
Got a slow start rollin', we were pickin’ up steam
All time low, it's a small town scene on the big screen, mhm

[Pre-Chorus]
And the world just stops
But the night goes on
And the strangest sound
Like the waves that keep on crashing over me

[Chorus]
So when you hear it callin'
Out underneath your window
There's a world outside that’s waiting
Saying come on, come on, come on
We got a restless feeling
And in a world of people
There's only you and me
The wild dogs runnin' in a slow dream
Hoo-hoo

[Bridge]
And if we get lost somewhere
God, I hope we never will be found
'Cause everybody else's small town dreams
Are crashing over me
[Chorus]
And when you hear it callin'
Out underneath your window
There's a world outside that's waiting
Saying come on, come on, come on
We got a restless feeling
And in a world of people
There's only you and me
Wild dogs runnin' in a slow dream

[Outro]
(Oh-whoa) Wild dogs runnin' in a slow dream
(Oh-whoa) Yeah, wild dogs runnin' in a slow dream
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
