The Woods by Ellise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Twig crack
I coulda sworn I felt breath on my neck
It could be paranoia, or best yet
A couple hands to hold ya
And footsteps
No, don’t look yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers, is it the wind with no one to listen?
Or is it him behind me with blisters
All on his hands from knives in the kitchen?
Bet he missed this
[Chorus]
“Don’t be scared”
“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”
I don’t care
Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would
I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to
When he tells me I could leave
He knows that I’d nevеr choose to
Do I dare chase thе devil down?
I’m hooked on you, the woods
[Verse 2]
I couldn’t leave it, that letter in blood
I saw it by the staircase buried under dust
I rip it open, read it, and how could I go?
His invitation, four AM, he knows I’ll show
[Pre-Chorus]
I better go, don’t wanna be late
For what could be magic, misery take more of me
I’ll give him everything
Savor, sin, and safeguard
[Chorus]
“Don’t be scared”
“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”
I don’t care
Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would
I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to
When he tells me I could leave
He knows that I’d never choose to
Do I dare chase the devil down?
I’m hooked on you, the woods
Twig crack
I coulda sworn I felt breath on my neck
It could be paranoia, or best yet
A couple hands to hold ya
And footsteps
No, don’t look yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers, is it the wind with no one to listen?
Or is it him behind me with blisters
All on his hands from knives in the kitchen?
Bet he missed this
[Chorus]
“Don’t be scared”
“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”
I don’t care
Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would
I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to
When he tells me I could leave
He knows that I’d nevеr choose to
Do I dare chase thе devil down?
I’m hooked on you, the woods
[Verse 2]
I couldn’t leave it, that letter in blood
I saw it by the staircase buried under dust
I rip it open, read it, and how could I go?
His invitation, four AM, he knows I’ll show
[Pre-Chorus]
I better go, don’t wanna be late
For what could be magic, misery take more of me
I’ll give him everything
Savor, sin, and safeguard
[Chorus]
“Don’t be scared”
“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”
I don’t care
Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would
I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to
When he tells me I could leave
He knows that I’d never choose to
Do I dare chase the devil down?
I’m hooked on you, the woods
