What Wild Things Were

And I still remember the turn of the leaves

And the first signs of blossom on our cherry trees

And I still hear rivers from old memories

I still star at starlight but only in dreams

'Cause we broke the home that we had

And there's no, there's no going back

To when things were alive

And blue could describe

The colour the sky was before it burned

When we still woke up to the sound of the birds

And we didn't have to wonder what wild things were

Well I'm scared of forgetting how things used to be

Like the days we could lay down on grass that was green

And I miss how the winter once painted these streets

And the sound that the snow made under my feet

'Cause we broke the home that we had

And there's no, there's no going back

To when things were alive

And blue could describe

The colour the sky was before it burned

When we still woke up to the sound of the birds

And we didn't have to wonder what wild things were

When we still woke up to the sound of the birds, of the birds

And we didn't have to wonder what wild things were

Well if I have a daughter how will I ever tell her

The ghost that came before her

Just broke the home that she has

There's no, there's no going back

To when things were alive

And blue could describe

The colour the sky was before it burned

When we still woke up to the sound of the birds

And we didn't have to wonder what wild things were, no, no, no

When we still woke up to the sound of the birds

We didn't have to wonder what wild things were

She's always gonna wonder, she's never gonna know

She's always gonna wonder, she's never gonna know

What wild things were

Wild things were

What wild things were

What wild things, wild things were
