[Verse 1]
I was reminded every measure
Riding trade winds, buried treasure
I got on fine with modern living
But must I be such a citizen?
[Chorus]
And the world, still so wild, called to me
I was lost, I'd been kept on my knees
[Verse 2]
Trippers and askers, they surrounded me
All them describing how they'd like me
All them wanting somethin' special
Bring 'em roses, sing them blues
[Chorus]
And the world, still so wild, called to me
I'd been caught, I was lost, on my knees
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
I looked full over all the lies and
Appealing to me, advertising
And I was living tight every night, uh
[Chorus]
And the world, still so wild, called to me
I was lost, I'd been kept on my knees
And the world, still so wild, called to me
[Outro]
Ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
Wild was written by Jack Antonoff & Britt Daniel.
Wild was produced by Gabe Wax & Spoon & Mark Rankin.
Jack [Antonoff] and I got together years ago. I feel like we worked on two songs—this one and ‘Can I Sit Next to You’, but nothing really happened with that. I don’t know how exactly to describe his signature other than there’s something about the chord changes that are a little more epic than usual...
