Passenger - The Boy Who Cried Wolf lyrics

Well I am the boy who cried wolf
And I know I've lied in the past
But last night I saw his yellow
Eyes shining in the dark
Yeah I know I spun tales with his voice
And I open my mouth too fast
But last night I saw his
Footprints in the path

Well I could swim every sea
From south pole to north
But, I know I'll only ever be
The boy who cried wolf

Well I am the shepherds only son
And I know what a joke I've become
I have an honest heart but I
Have lies on my tongue
I don't know how this started
Or where it came from
And you have no reason and I have no proof
But this time I swear, I'm telling the truth
I saw that old wolf, from tail to tooth
And I know that he's hungry
And he's coming down too

Well I could swim every sea
From south pole to north
And I could climb every tree
And scale every course
Well I could tell only the
Truth from this day forth
But, I know I'll only ever be
The boy who cried wolf

Oh, oh I am the boy who cried wolf
Oh, I am the boy who cried
