Cold ashes of an old camp fire 
A scrap of cloth caught on a briar 
Could these be us? Were we once here? 
When did we both disappear? 

I hear a voice among the trees 
Maybe just the nighttime breeze 
Maybe it’s the wild things roaming free
Wild like you, wild like me 
Calling now to you and me 
We must follow, can’t you see? – come with me 

CHORUS: Forget the city and its false lights 
They steal your dreams, they steal your nights 
Leave your troubles, your worldly goods 
And run with me, run with me 
to the dark woods 

Footprints in a hidden cave 
Mementoes time chose to save  
Initials carved in the frost 
How did we ever get so lost? 

Can’t you see? It’s all so clear 
No one else has ever been here 
Except for the wild things roaming free
Wild like you, wild like me 
Calling now to you and me 
And we must follow, can’t you see? – run with me 

CHORUS

In the dark we have no fear 
In the woods no one can hear 
Except for the wild things roaming free
Wild like you, wild like me 
Only the wild things, here to see 
Wild like you, wild like me 

CHORUS
