young and wild

when i look up at the stars

no matter where you are

you're always in my heart

you're always in my heart

when the walls are closing in

you're the sun upon my skin

you're always where i am

you're always where i am

wild child

living in the moment

world in my arms

too young to know it

oh

you made me feel so alive

had a good thing going

but we couldn't make it

even if i could

i wouldn't change it

when i look back i just smile

we were young and wild

when i was feeling black and blue

i could always count on you

you always made me new

always made me new

and even though it was the end

if you ever need a friend

i'll be coming back again

i'll be coming back again

wild child

nothing that could stop us

parking in the cut

and fogging up the windows

oh

you made me feel so alive

they say nothing good's

gonna last forever

we were pedal to the metal

and always together

when i look back i just smile

i lay there silent in the sand

and listen while you whisper

to another lonely setting sun

whose heart is always distant

memories won't be the death of me

as long as i could feel you

long as i could feel you

wild child

do you still remember

skip school

drink

and get high agenda

oh

it made me feel so alive

like my first real love

that i thought would make it

our greatest gifts can be

mistakes we're making

so when i look back i just smile

we were young and wild

young and wild

young and wild
