You were young
enough 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 to 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
oh wildchild
You were learning
how to skate
in empty swimming pools
And laughing
'til the neighbors
called the cops
You were always
getting up to something
never changed that
tune you hummed
And everybody
knew that song
they just grew up
and forgot
Wildchild
you were born to 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
young
Say you're gonna stay
free
Looking at you
looking at me
Say I'm always gonna be
My wild wild
wildchild
Are you having fun Alex
He's a tough kid
you're a tough kid
you know that
