lyrics

Where The Wild Things Are

Verse One:

Imagination sparked by animation
Playgrounds - boys found - kiss chase them
Impatient, waiting for break when,
We’d hide out & find how to make friends,
Misshaped dens - enter another world
I could be what I dreamed - be another girl
Create magic - a rainbow of flowers,
Hopscotch and drop super powers,
Borrow Bernard’s watch. Move the hours,
Take off - gliding in Bauers,
To the moon and back again
Leaving at noon. Back Saturday.
Every Sunday - it was a rest day
Board games. Check mate & the best cakes
Hibernate away with the cassette tape
Whole world tuned into what Bex played.

Chorus:

Where the wild things are
Take me back to where the wild things are x 3
Things change. Searching for stars.
Take me back to where the wild things are.

Verse Two:

Summertime, swing ball & girl-thoughts,
Competing spirit into all sports,
Straining to hear as the world talked,
Wishing I was tall but i’d fall short,
We all walk - before we run fast.
Plus that someone has to come last,
Elements, sentiments that I shrugged at,
Always racing hard as my lungs gasped,
Pushed past every boundaries,
Sounding out. Figuring how to be
Feminine: not just one of the boys
Trying to be with one of the boys
Observing how girl-like types be
Heartbreak & Princess Diaries,
Then digital love. Wink & smiley.
Daydreaming of what life might be...

Chorus:

Where the wild things are
Take me back to where the wild things are x 3
Things change. Searching for stars.
Take me back to where the wild things are.

Verse Three:

First dates, grown-ups & workplace,
In the real world where the hurt aches,
Where digesting news leaves a burnt taste,
Can’t sleep or dream: toss and turn late
Then awake to the same old routine,
9 to 5 - your eyes look through me,
It seems I lost my powers now
I’m guessing all the flowers drowned
No rest days. This is real life.
The lid on inspiration is sealed tight
Close my eyes to dream but it don’t feel right.

Chorus:

Where the wild things are
Take me back to where the wild things are x 3
Things change. Searching for stars.
Take me back to where the wild things are.
