When a Wild Thing Goes Free
Can't believe it's over and I can be at peace
Can't believe I can finally let it be
Oh this love between us was a wild, wild thing
Can't believe I can finally set it free
Finally all the words have been spoken
Stand back, find a safe place to be
Heaven knows bones can be broken
When a wild thing goes free
We thought this love betrayed us, but finally I can see
That we betrayed the nature of the beast
That wild, wild beauty that we could never tame
has beauty only if you set it free
This day, the wind started blowing
This day, the birds fly from the trees
Heaven knows where she is going
When a wild thing goes free
[ bridge ]
This day, the skies won't be grieving
This day, the wind sighs with relief
Heaven knows she can sleep peacefully
When a wild thing goes free
When a wild thing goes free
[ coda ]
