"WILDCHILD" lyrics

You were young enough to think I was invincible
And brave enough to think that you were too
You were on the rooftop singing all your favorite songs
And making up the words
And I was so amazed by you
Oh, my

Wildchild
You were born to hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while
But I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wild, child
Whoa
Wildchild

You were learning how to skate in empty swimming pools
And laughing till the neighbors called the cops
You were always getting up to something
Never change that tune you're humming
Everybody knew that song, they just grew up and forgot

Wildchild
You were born to hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while
But I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wild, child

Say you're gonna stay young
Don't let 'em steal your peace
Say you're gonna stay free
Don't let 'em steal your peace
Looking at you
Looking at me
Say you're always gonna be
My wild, wild, wildchild

Are you having fun, Alex?
He's a tough kid
You're a tough kid, you know that?
