wild things

alessia cara

to me where the wild things are is a place that exists in our minds

it's a place of liberty and shamelessness

it can take a split second or a lifetime to find it

but once you do

you'll be free

find table spaces

say your social graces

bow your head

they're pious here

but you and i

we're pioneers

we make our own rules

our own room

no bias here

let 'em sell what they are sellin'

there are no buyers here

so gather all the rebels now

we'll rebel rouse and sing aloud

we don't care what they say

no way

no way

and we will leave the empty

chairs to those who say we can't sit there

we're fine all by ourselves

so aye

we brought our drum and this is how we dance

no mistakin'

we make our breaks

if you don't like our 808s

then leave us alone

'cause we don't need your policies

we have no apologies for being

find me where the wild things are

oh

my

we'll be alright

don't mind us

yeah

find me where the wild things are

oh

my

we'll be just fine

don't mind us

yeah

find me where the wild things are

i lose my balance on these eggshells

you tell me to tread

i'd rather be a wild one instead

don't wanna hang around the in crowd

the cool kids aren't cool to me

they're not cooler than we are

so aye

we brought our drum and this is how we dance

no mistakin'

we make our breaks

if you don't like our 808s

then leave us alone

'cause we don't need your policies

we have no apologies for being

find me where the wild things are

oh

my

we'll be alright

don't mind us

yeah

find me where the wild things are

oh

my

we'll be just fine

don't mind us

yeah

we will carve our place into time and space

we will find our way

or we'll make a way

say hey

hey

hey

find you're great

don't you hide your face

and let it shine

shine

shine

shine

shine

shine

so aye

we brought our drum and this is how we dance

no mistakin'

we make our breaks

if you don't like our 808s

then leave us alone

'cause we don't need your policies

we have no apologies for being

find me where the wild things are

oh

my

we'll be alright

don't mind us

yeah

find me where the wild things are

oh

my

we'll be just fine

don't mind us

yeah

find me where the wild things are

there's a wild thing that exists in all of us

it lives in our passions

in the people we love

in our subconscious thoughts

our beliefs

it's even made a home in the darkest parts of us

but we can't be scared of it

we have to become it
