Lyrics
Take me alive
Expressing a desire to be taken alive, possibly embracing life fully.
I'm old enough now
Claiming maturity and readiness for what follows.
Let me look up
Requesting a moment to look up and appreciate the starry sky.
And see the stars shine
Noticing the beauty of stars shining above.
'Cause I've got everything but time on my hands
Feeling a surplus of everything except time.
You see beauty in the strangest of ways
Finding beauty in unconventional or unexpected ways.
So let me live in the wild tonight
Expressing a desire to live freely and without constraints.
I'll never be alone
Emphasizing a sense of not being lonely.
Watch daylight expire
Observing and embracing the end of the day.
And hide from the city I'll never know
Avoiding the city, symbolizing detachment from urban life.
Wash me in the street
Symbolic request to be cleansed or rejuvenated.
I'll float away
Suggesting a willingness to let go and drift away.
Let me live in the wild tonight
Reiterating the desire to live freely in the wild.
Hope has found me
Expressing the discovery of hope in a new place or mindset.
A different place
Highlighting the uniqueness of the discovered place.
I've wanted much more
Expressing a desire for more in life.
But I cannot relate
Feeling a lack of connection or understanding.
'Cause I've got everything but time on my hands
Reiterating the abundance of everything except time.
You've caught me looking for love in the dark
Caught seeking love in the darkness, possibly struggling with it.
So let me live in the wild tonight
Repeating the desire to live freely in the wild.
I'll never be alone
Emphasizing a sense of not being alone.
Watch daylight expire
Observing and embracing the end of the day (repeated theme).
And hide from the city I'll never know
Avoiding the city, symbolizing detachment from urban life (repeated theme).
Wash me in the street
Symbolic request to be cleansed or rejuvenated (repeated theme).
I'll float away
Suggesting a willingness to let go and drift away (repeated theme).
Let me live in the wild tonight
Reiterating the desire to live freely in the wild (repeated theme).
Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?
Expressing surprise or disbelief at a turn of events.
I could be yours when I've never been mine
Acknowledging the possibility of being someone else's while not having a sense of self.
Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?
Repeating the surprise at finding a place suitable for oneself.
This is the place for me and my bones
Declaring the newfound place as suitable for one's essence or being.
So let me live in the wild tonight
Reiterating the desire to live freely in the wild (repeated theme).
I'll never be alone
Emphasizing a sense of not being alone (repeated theme).
Watch daylight expire
Observing and embracing the end of the day (repeated theme).
And hide from the city I'll never know
Avoiding the city, symbolizing detachment from urban life (repeated theme).
Wash me in the street
Symbolic request to be cleansed or rejuvenated (repeated theme).
And I'll float away
Suggesting a willingness to let go and drift away (repeated theme).
Let me live in the wild tonight
Reiterating the desire to live freely in the wild (repeated theme).
