Too Wild Too Long
Wandering Hearts: A Ballad of Regret and Longing
Lyrics
You could have knocked me over when you walked in here tonight
You walking in tonight surprised me greatly.
I thought by now you'd be somebody's wife
I expected you to be married by now.
It sure brings back some memories, and Lord, we've made a few
Our meeting evokes memories, some good and some challenging.
But I'm not back in town to stay, I'm just passing through.
I'm not here permanently; I'm just passing through this town.
The years have hardly touched you and times been on your side
You haven't aged much, and time has been kind to you.
You always looked so good this time at night
You always appeared attractive at this time of night.
But I still got this problem with just four little walls
I still struggle with feeling confined within these four walls.
And just one look should tell you that I havn't changed at all.
A quick look at me would reveal that I haven't changed at all.
I've been running too wild too long
I've lived a life of excessive freedom for too long.
There's still a place inside my heart where no one's ever gone
There's a part of my heart that remains untouched by anyone.
You'd be a fool to love me and I'd only do you wrong
Loving me would not be wise, as I would only cause you pain.
Too wild too long.
I've been too reckless and free for too long.
Sometimes I miss a family, sometimes miss a plane
Sometimes I yearn for a family, sometimes I miss flights.
Sometimes I just don't show up at all and miss out on everything
Occasionally, I don't turn up at all and miss out on everything.
Girl if I ain't here tomorrow then take carte of yourself
If I'm not around tomorrow, take care of yourself.
By now you know the way I am its something I can't help.
You likely understand by now that my behavior is beyond my control.
I've been running too wild too long
I've lived a life of excessive freedom for too long.
There's still a place inside my heart where no one's ever gone
There's a part of my heart that remains untouched by anyone.
You'd be a fool to love me, I'd only do you wrong
Loving me would not be wise, as I would only cause you pain.
Too wild too long.
I've been too reckless and free for too long.
I've been running too wild too long, too wild too long.
I've lived a life of excessive freedom for too long.
