I've been out
Pickin the plums of a tree
Gatherin' all the grains at my feet.
Got my mama to care
While my daddy's somewhere
That wind is rockin my chair.
He never said goodbye.
He did tell me he'd never lie.
So I gazed out the door
Until I fell forward
And felt the wind in my hair.
I wipe the sweat off my brow.
Hold up this baggage somehow.
I followed the road that sure wasn't gold
Now I'm dancin with diamonds up here.
I followed the road that sure wasn't gold
Now I'm dancin with diamonds up here.
So find me a chair and get me some air
Let me feel this right here (x2)

Wild

You say you love the wilderness
But you tame the wild child.
You say you love the wildness
But you test if I'm worthwhile.
I come to you with a broken tooth
And flash you a wild smile
But all you ever want to do
Is show off your wild style.
And I want to be wild
But wild is no longer while with you.
Another word and I've spoke too soon
You're a mother without a child.
The things you love are not the things you choose,
You're a temple you've defiled.
Racin fast under a burnin moon
Salvation in the sky
I say to you, there's a place for you
You say I'd rather die.
And I want to be wild
But wild is no longer while with you (x2)
I'm with you always
But not this way
We're not ok
Time has come to go away
We'll meet someday
But not this way
We'll meet someday
But not this way.

I hold on to your hand
I hold on to what you said
But please let me go
Walk me out the door
Cause I can't seem to find my way out anymore

New York has never felt so empty
It's missing my two favorite angels
I go walkin the streets
To find something sweet
But it's hard after you went away.
Brooklyn is more like a graveyard
Don't even talk about Queens
Long Island feels like a distant dream
And the Bronx is missing your tree.
You're always breaking my heart
You give me all my favorite things.
But the moment they're gone,
Your magic is too.
You're more like a glorified zoo.
Uptown is full of old ghosts,
Downtown is full of new jokes.
By the east side I cry
If you only knew why,
You'd move as far west too.
