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 (We were young and wild) 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 repeat intro 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 (We were young and wild) They say nothing good's Gonna last forever We were pedal to the metal And always together When I look back I just smile (slow down) 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 Wild child Do you still remember Skip school, drink And get high agenda Oh, it made me feel so alive (We were young and wild) 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 (I remember, I remember back in the day) (I remember, I remember back in the day) Young and wild (I remember, I remember back in the day, I remember) Young and wild (I remember, I remember back in the day, I remember)
