[Verse 1: James Walker]
Pull me closer, cut me off
You’re playing Jesus
But where’s your cross?
You’ll take me for granted
But you won’t chain me to your door
[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey
But you ain’t seen nothing more
[Verse 2: Judy Blank]
I planted flowers
Inside your chest
That grew to gardens
And took your breath
Now bear this burden
You know I’ve been alone before
[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey
But I ain’t keeping score
[Chorus: James Walker & Judy Blank]
You got me lost
In the wildest fields
Got ahold of my heart
Told me how to feel
You longed for a heart-shaped
String of green
But all I could give you was
Thistles & weeds
[Hook]
I’ve seen wild world honey
It’s right in front of me
[Verse 3: James Walker]
So uproot the roses
Untether ties
Unlock my handcuffs
Unfreeze my mind
You’ve been using my kindness
And you refuse look inside
[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey
But you can’t open your eyes
(You got me lost in the wildest fields)
To see the wild world honey
It’s no big surprise
(You got me lost in the wildest fields)
I’ve seen the wild world honey
It’s not by your side
