There's a wolf at the threshold, and he's waiting for the word.
I don't need to open every door just because it opens first.
You can bring me all your thunder, I have learned to hear the worst.
Wolf at the threshold. (Come closer.)

You came smiling like a kingdom that had never seen a siege.
I could read the hidden hunger underneath the polished speech.
I don't fear the way you want me, I just choose the way you reach.
Desire gets dangerous when it thinks it has permission.

One step, don't rush.
Respect the line. (Right there.)

I learned to close a gate without becoming made of stone.
I can want you near me without letting you own the room.
There is heat beneath the warning, but the warning still gets heard.
A wolf can stay beside the door without becoming yours.

I don't chase what I can choose.
I don't beg what wants to stay.

There's a wolf at the threshold, and he's waiting for the word.
I don't need to open every door just because it opens first.
You can bring me all your thunder, I have learned to hear the worst.
Wolf at the threshold. (Come closer.)
