Used to think I was invincible
And brave enough
To think that you were too
You were on the rooftop
Singing all your favorite songs
Making up the words
And I was so amazed by you
Oh, my wildchild you were born
You hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while
But I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wildchild, ooh, wildchild
You were learning how to skate
In empty swimming pools
And laughing till the neighbors called the cops
You were always getting up to something
Never changed that tune you hummed
And everybody knew that song
It's just who I've never got
Wildchild you were born
You hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while
But I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wildchild
Say you're gonna stay, yeah
Say you're gonna stay free
Looking at you, looking at me
We could we wanna be
My wild, wild, wildchild
