COME BE WILD WITH ME [Verse 1] I never promised you a palace, I never brought you fields of gold, But I gave you nights that kept on burning Long after morning touched the road. I gave you words that made you tremble, A place where you could drop your guard, I kissed the silence from your body, I put the summer in your heart. And you can search this whole wide world, love, From crowded streets to emerald seas— You'll find a thousand things worth having, But you won't find another we. [Pre-Chorus] So don't tell me you're not hungry, I can hear it when you breathe, There's still a barefoot girl inside you Dying to break free. [Chorus] Come be wild with me, Come be wild with me, Throw your careful life into the wind And come be wild with me. Let the moon fall on your shoulders, Let your hair dance wild and free, If loving you is forbidden, Let them come and arrest me. Come be wild with me, Till the stars forget to leave, I don't want to watch love on a screen— I want your living heart Against me. [Verse 2] They taught us love should speak politely, Sit straight, behave and know its place, But I want love with dusty ankles, Moonlight sweating on its face. I want a caravan at midnight, A violin beneath the trees, Your dress turning around the fire, Your laughter carried by the breeze. We'll lay our blankets on the hillside, Drink the darkness like red wine, And when the morning comes to find us, Your tired hand will still hold mine. [Pre-Chorus] Don't hide behind tomorrow, Don't make your heartbeat wait, We've wasted enough beautiful nights Being sensible and afraid. [Chorus] Come be wild with me, Come be wild with me, Throw your careful life into the wind And come be wild with me. Let the moon fall on your shoulders, Let your hair dance wild and free, If loving you is forbidden, Let them come and arrest me. Come be wild with me, Till the stars forget to leave, I don't want to watch love on a screen— I want your living heart Against me. [Bridge — intense, intimate] I have no chains for your wrists, No lock upon your door, No little book where I have counted Who hurt who before. I only have these open arms, This foolish, faithful flame, And one life getting shorter Every time we hesitate. So take off all your fear tonight, Leave it sleeping with your shoes, Come barefoot through the grass to me— You've got nothing left to prove. [Music rises — violin answers the vocal] Let the whole damn world keep watching. Let them hide behind their screens. We will be the kind of lovers They are frightened even to dream. [Final Chorus — explosive] COME BE WILD WITH ME! Come be wild with me! Let the heavens lose their order, Let the rivers find the sea! Dance beneath the moonlight, Put your burning hands on me, If this kind of love is outlawed— Then outlawed we will be! Come be wild with me, No tomorrow, no retreat, I don't want your photograph, I don't want your memory— I want your breath, I want your fire, I want your midnight next to me. Let everybody else watch love— Baby, you and I will live it. [Outro — almost whispered] No palace... No diamonds... No guarantees... Just one moon, one fire, two hearts... Come be wild with me.
