World We Used to Know lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wild, wild, wild horses tell me, where did they all go?
They used to run, used to run, used to run right here
And all I see is an empty road
Wild, wild, wild roses tell me, where did they all go?
When I was young, I was young, they would spread like fire
And now the roots don't know where to grow

[Chorus]
Did it come overnight or did it come on slow?
It’s out of our hands and it's out of control
I don't think that this is the world we used to know

[Drop]
Is the world we used to know

[Verse 2]
Wide, wide, wide oceans tell me, where do you lead?
When the sun and the sky come to meet at night
I wonder, would you carry me?
Why won’t you tell me if I'm on my own
You used to be, used to be, used to be right here
And now I don't know where to go

[Chorus]
Did it come overnight or did it come on slow?
It's out of our hands and it's out of control
I don't think that this is the world we used to know
[Drop]
Is the world we used to know

[Bridge]
I could show you places that we had
In the world we used to know
Take me home and show me love can last
There's a world we used to know

[Chorus]
Did it come overnight or did it come on slow?
It's out of our hands and it’s out of control
I don’t think that this is the world we used to know

[Drop]
Is the world we used to know
