lyrics

In the darkness, I still see you
Senses sharpened, I can feel you close
But I think you might be better off if I just eased up; you’ve had enough
Of this catch and release, whoa

My pulse is racing, heart is thumping in my chest
And I’m debased but jumping headlong in this mess
But I think you might be better off if I slunk away into the night
Accepted defeat

And I don’t know what to do
Can’t keep these instincts at bay
But my hounded love for you has turned a hunter into prey


Want, then rue ooh, ooh
Don’t crawl inside my heart, I don’t have any room for you
Want, then rue ooh, ooh
I’m only stalking you so you can spill my blood
I am the rougarou


In the dark you cut a figure
Your scent grows weaker and your shadow grows bigger
And for one year and one day I’ve followed, wincing at the pain I’ve swallowed
To stay on your heels

And I don’t know what to do
I just can’t keep away
But my hopeless love for for you has put my hunger on display

Want, then rue ooh, ooh
Don’t crawl inside my heart, I don’t have any room for you.
Want, then rue ooh, ooh
But I’m only stalking you so I can devour you: I am the rougarou

(guitar solo / musical interlude)

And I don’t know what to do
I just don’t know myself
My only hope for you is that you love somebody else
Want, then rue ooh, ooh
Don’t crawl inside my heart, I don’t have any room for you
Want, then rue ooh, ooh
But I’m only stalking you so you’ll be just like me
I am the rougarou
Rue ooh, ooh
But I’m only stalking you so I can devour you
I am the rougarou
Rue ooh, ooh
Rue ooh, ooh
