Lyrics for "Wandering Hearts"

Intro
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ahh, ahh, ahh

Verse 1
Morning light slips through the blinds
Coffee's cold but so is time
The radio hums something sweet
(Ooh, ooh)
I lace my shoes, I chase the day
Still half-lost in yesterday
But there's a smile waking up with me
(Ahh, ahh)

Pre-Chorus
The world keeps knocking on the door
Bills on the table, dreams on the floor
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But somehow we're still laughing anyway
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Chorus
Wake up, my wandering heart
(Wake up, wake up)
Don't let the daylight pull you apart
(Don't let it pull you)
We're rich in the ways that matter most
With borrowed hopes and a hand to hold
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, what's it worth if you believe
In simple love and small victories
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Ooh, ooh, wandering heart
(Wandering heart)

Verse 2
You once saw castles in my eyes
Silver armor, grand designs
Turns out I'm just the human kind
(Ooh, ooh)
But when the night comes drifting in
We count the luck beneath our sins
And find we've got just what we need
(Ahh, ahh)

Pre-Chorus
No golden road, no perfect plan
Just second chances, a one-room stand
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And dreams that won't stop calling us
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Chorus
Wake up, my wandering heart
(Wake up, wake up)
Don't let the daylight pull you apart
(Don't let it pull you)
We're rich in the ways that matter most
With borrowed hopes and a hand to hold
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, what's it worth if you believe
In simple love and small victories
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Ooh, ooh, wandering heart
(Wandering heart)

Verse 3
We've worn our doubts like hand-me-downs
Heard every voice that talked us down
Still here, still burning slow
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The future hums, a gentle glow
Through every scar the light still shows
And all that hope we didn't know
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Instrumental Break
[Synth solo section]
[Warm synth lead melody, lush pads, synth bass groove]
[Choir pad vocals floating]
Ooh, ahh, ooh
(Ooh, ahh, ooh)
Ooh, ahh, ooh
(Ahh, ooh, ahh)

Bridge
If tomorrow bends or breaks
We'll float between the mistakes
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
'Cause magic hides in ordinary days
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Hold on, hold on
(Hold on, hold on)
Hold on, hold on
(Hold on, hold on)
Ooh, ooh, hold on
(Hold on, hold on)

Final Chorus
Wake up, my wandering heart
(Wake up, wake up)
Every morning's a brand-new start
(Brand new start)
We're kings and queens of make-believe
Living loud on almost nothing
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, what's it mean? Just you and me
Still foolish enough to dream
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Ooh, ooh, wandering heart
(Wandering heart)

Outro
[Synth fade, tempo slows]
[Layered choir pad harmonies building]
Still foolish enough
(Still foolish enough)
To dream, to dream, to dream
(To dream, to dream, to dream)
Still foolish enough
(Still foolish enough)
To dream, to dream, to dream
(To dream, to dream, to dream)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Still foolish enough to dream
(To dream, to dream)
To dream, to dream, to dream
(To dream, to dream, to dream)

End
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
