Wild Things

(Verse 1) I see you standing at the fork in the road, One’s paved in gold, the other’s heavy with stone. You wear the weight like a chain ‘round your soul, Eyes downcast, like you’ve already lost control. (Pre-Chorus) But I just wish you’d see the same as me, That I ain’t here just marking time, Not just waiting for the stars to align— I’m living while I got the chance. (Chorus) Two roads stretch before our feet, One is smooth, the other cuts deep. You say you can’t win this race, But I see fire still in your face. Take my hand, don’t close your eyes— There’s more to life than just getting by. (Verse 2) Every stone is a lesson, every crack’s got a name, Every bruise on my heart is just part of the game. I’d rather stumble, I’d rather bleed, Than take the easy road and never feel free. (Pre-Chorus) So why can’t you see the way I do? This road ain’t meant to break you through. I’m not just watching time slip by— I’m reaching for the open sky. (Chorus) Two roads stretch before our feet, One is smooth, the other cuts deep. You say you can’t win this race, But I see fire still in your face. Take my hand, don’t close your eyes— There’s more to life than just getting by. (Bridge) No, I won’t let you fade away, We got a choice to make today. Easy won’t ever make you strong, Come with me where the wild things belong. (Outro) Two roads, baby, one’s easy, one’s true, But I’ll take the hard one if it’s walking with you.
