Wild Things Lyrics

Papa was a rolling stone

'Cause his fears would keep him awake

And chase him coast to coast

All the while

My mama just smiled

And taught us to hold our own

But late at night

I could hear her crying

She was so alone

She was so alone

And I did not know anything but this

Wasn't even pissed

When he finally returned

We all had dinner

Then we went into our rooms

And they set our whole world on fire

Let it burn

Thought we never heard

Yeah, we heard

All the mean words

How it got worse

Bullied at school

But I never said a word

I always wanted them

To solve their shit first

I didn't really have no choice

So I just swallowed my disappointment

Hollow and distant from the rest

Juat following distant voices

Too restless to enjoy it

Running for the hills

Trying to fill that void

And the truth is

I don't really care

'Cause I'd do anything

Just to kill that noise

Of the two of them fighting

Staying in my room

Just writing

Saying to myself

When I grow up

I don't want to be like them

The world's so big and frightening

Is what they want you to believe

But in order to be me

I've got to leave

Before the night ends

Wo-o-ooo-oooh

I keep chasing that sunrise

To get away just for one night

Far

Where the wild things are

I'm not afraid of the dark

No fear at all

I'm not even scared

We're worlds apart

I know you will find me

Where the wild things are

Woke up from a dream

Felt the wind of change blowing

Eyes wide open

As my pond turned to an ocean

I set sail for greatness

Wouldn't slow down for no one

Though they tried to hold me down

I never stopped just kept going

Yeah

I just kept going

So devoted to the thought

Of becoming so much more

Than the man I was

So I just kept pushing

For those golden shores

Like I always knew

That I would meet somebody

That would climb aboard

That would have my heart

And show me through the storm

To the place where the lions roar

Someone who will only love

The things worth fighting for

Someone who will only live

For the things worth dying for

And that girl will have my kids

And I'll treat 'em all like royalty

Every night I'll tell 'em this

I'll tell 'em

Jag står här vid er sida

Lovar att stanna kvar

Jag älskar er mer än livet

Jag ger er vart andetag jag tar

Så tvivla ej, mina kära

Det är ingen fara

För om jag nånsin faller

Så ses vi i Nangijala

Wo-o-ooo-oooh

I keep chasing that sunrise

To get away just for one night

Far

Where the wild things are

I'm not afraid of the dark

No fear at all

I'm not even scared

We're worlds apart

I know you will find me

Where the wild things are
