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 dare 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, no 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 ghosts that came before her Just broke the home that she has Well, 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 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
