Wild Things

I lay awake at night
Through hollow halls you cry
It’s crazy we survived
But we’re alive

You’re way too young to know
I'm grateful that you don't
It’s hard to make a home, make a home

Feel like anything other than boxes
Skeletons swinging in empty closets
I cover your eyes
But someday soon you’ll know

I can’t spare you from the darkness
I can’t fix a broken heart
But I can use my scars to guide you, when the world tears you apart
I can’t stop the walls from falling
But I’ll be the arms you fall in
‘Till you’re ready for your calling
To live
Where the wild things are
Where the wild things are
Where the wild things are
Where the wild things are

I hope you never lose
That innocence in you
It’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s true

You’re growing up I know
You know you’re not alone
I did my best to make our home, feel like home, feel like

Anything other than boxes
Skeletons swinging in empty closets
I can’t cover your eyes, but I’ll always be close

I can’t spare you from the darkness
I can’t fix a broken heart
But I can use my scars to guide you, when the world tears you apart
I can’t stop the walls from falling
But I’ll be the arms you fall in
‘Till you’re ready for your calling
To live
Where the wild things are
Where the wild things are
Where the wild things are
Where the wild things are

Hold on to who you are
Hold on to who you are
Hold on, hold on

Hold on to you
