Wild Child tells the story of two lovers that broke up too soon. They both still loved each other and eventually got back together. On Spotify this is their second most played song (only topped by “Sinking Ship” from their 2018 album “Expectations”) and the most popular of the album “The Runaround.”
[Intro]
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas a giant, nuclear furnace! furnace!
[Verse 1]
I'll wait around for days
This porch on which I pace
I need you mine I need me yours
You stole my breath away
You swore to me you'd stay
I've found something that I adore
[Hook]
Oh how
How we supposed to go on?
Not knowing if you
Bleed the way I do
I do (well I did)
Are your bags traveling elsewhere?
You need to know I got the bones rolling hard against the floor
And if you left I'd break until the little pieces felt no more
[Verse 2]
Whisper the things we'd scream
Now, kid, let's not get mean
I need you mine I need me yours
Four walls and fancy friends
Don't need me none of them
Because I've got you now and that's enough
(Well I'm glad)(Well so am I)
Let's take good from our past
Patch holes with things that last
Let's tear it up here you and I
[Hook]
Oh how
How we supposed to go on?
Not knowing if you
Bleed the way I do
I do (well I did)
Are your bags traveling elsewhere?
You need to know I got the bones rolling hard against the floor
And if you left I'd break until the little pieces felt no more
No more
[Verse 3]
Well these fights sure do take a lot out of me
But the secret I can tell you is I still do believe
I can't promise that I'll always be careful with things
So just know that I'll expect it if you ever do leave
Sweet Marie
I love your name
Oh babe
Can you turn your heart this way
[Hook]
Oh how
How we supposed to go on?
Not knowing if you
Bleed the way I do
I do (well I did)
Are your bags traveling elsewhere?
You need to know I got the bones rolling hard against the floor
And if you left I'd break until the little pieces felt no more
