The Wild Walk Home Lyrics

I know it's never gonna feel the way I thought it would

'Cause when everything is golden

Nothing feels good

Wish I could float above the neighbourhood, get swallowed by the sound

But nothing feels good, and I am planted on the ground.

It'll all fall away, I know

In the end it will be buried by the snow

And I will walk through all the streets I knew when I was all alone

And I will make my way to you, I'll make it through the wild walk home

And when I see your smile

I'll shake off the snow on the lino

Laughing like a child

And I remember the way the water glittered in the sun

And the way I split it open with my hands and how I spun

And swam and splashed around in circles, saw the algae growing green

And how the only thing I wanted was to be eighteen

I could see the way I'd glow

Like an actress I'd make all the world my show

But I am old enough to understand that I misunderstood

'Cause when everything is golden

Nothing feels good

And I'll stop swimming in a while

And come hold you close on the shoreline

Laughing like a child
