Missing the days when my shadow was a friend Tiny hands, tiny feet, and bright eyes Wild things don't need to know everything A blank slate, freedom from it all Oh, the times when time meant nothing The past, present and future unknown Rolling with the punches and the waves as they come Day by day, freedom from it all Wild things and wild dreams Unbridled beating hearts Yeah I'd trade all my silver and gold to be A wild thing Missing the summers that felt like years Dirty hands, dirty feet, teary eyes Wild things stand tall and let it in with no fear Yeah, freedom from it all Oh, the nights spent wondering why Why this cold, dark earth takes our lovers when they die A cry of pain with no place to hide Let it go, yeah freedom from it all Wild things and wild dreams Unbridled beating hearts Yeah I'd trade all my silver and gold to be A wild thing Wild things and wild dreams Unbridled beating hearts Yeah I'd trade all my silver and gold to be A wild thing Wild things and wild dreams Unbridled beating hearts Yeah I'd trade all I'd trade everything to be A wild thing
