The seventh track of Atlas “Wild Ones” is told from the perspective of someone frustrated with the life choices of their lover. It can be read as a sad song about an unjustified commitment to a toxic relationship, or an optimistic song about unconditional love.
Standing on a skyline, watching all the cars go
Sleeping in the daylight, you're losing all control
I can't stand to see it, watching you fall apart
I never wanted to be anything you are
[Hook]
I bet you think you're pretty dangerous
Burning down the walls, breaking all the laws, yeah
Has there ever been a time for us?
I guess that I'll never tell
[Chorus]
Wild ones, we're wild ones, oh-oh-oh
We don't care what you think of us now
Wild ones, we're wild ones, oh-oh-oh
We don't keep ourselves to the ground
Running through the back-streets like the videos on TV
It was just another blowout that we forgot to leave
[Hook]
She said...
[Chorus]
Well I hear your heart tremble like a storm
In the cold of night
You must be keeping something from the world
See I’m holding to the edges of the light you leave behind
I love that you’re a wild one, show me you’re a wild one
Tonight
[Chorus]
See I’m holding to the edges of the light you leave behind
I love that you’re a wild one, show me you’re a wild one
Tonight
