"Wild Child" lyrics

"Wild Child"

You
I've walked too far without you now, I fear
Christened by the knowledge that I fear that suffering
But I feel that softening that only time can bring

Once
There's a wondrous kind of chaos that we found
But the tornado, it chewed and spit me out again
Now and then I miss it, baby, I miss it, baby, I do

I'm imperfect, I'm a wild child lately

If you think that I'm crazy now, baby, wait for it
Caught in the teeth of it, I need a break from the blue
It's gonna hurt
Settle me down, down, down, do the best you can
All kinds of trouble, but all of this trouble's for you
It's gonna hurt, baby, I'm gonna hurt you
But I don't want to

Laughter
At the pain of something broken on the floor
Was it sweet relief you didn't care before?
You broke it, babe, like every messy, messy situation

But you
I've walked too far without you now I fear
I half neglected everything that's here in front of me, in front of you
I'm making my amends

If you think that I'm crazy now, baby, wait for it
Caught in the teeth of it, I need a break from the blue
It's gonna hurt
Settle me down, down, down, do the best you can
All kinds of trouble, but all of this trouble's for you
It's gonna hurt, baby, I'm gonna hurt you
But I don't want to
