[Verse 1]
Take me alive
I'm old enough now
Let me look up
And see the stars shine
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've got everything but time on my hands
You see beauty in the strangest of ways
[Chorus]
So let me live in the wild tonight
I'll never be alone
Watch daylight expire
And hide from the city I'll never know
Wash me in the street
I'll float away
Let me live in the wild tonight
[Verse 2]
Hope has found me
A different place
I've wanted much more
But I cannot relate
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've got everything but time on my hands
You've caught me looking for love in the dark
[Chorus]
So let me live in the wild tonight
I'll never be alone
Watch daylight expire
And hide from the city I'll never know
Wash me in the street
I'll float away
Let me live in the wild tonight
[Bridge]
Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?
I could be yours when I've never been mine
Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?
This is the place for me and my bones
[Chorus]
So let me live in the wild tonight
I'll never be alone
Watch daylight expire
And hide from the city I'll never know
Wash me in the street
And I'll float away
Let me live in the wild tonight
