We hold on | and stay up all night Strayed a little far from the beaten path I saw my reason lifting off the ground And I heard you whisper | I’m gone No time to question the values or reasons why I’m just not living | the | wild life I wish | I wish | I could stay here | stay here for days Got a lot on your plate | got to get on | my way I picture a conscious feeling Better than high I’m just not living | the | wild life And if I learn to sleep I will learn to tell time And when I tell time I sleep all the while When I sleep I might hope to survive The losing of you In the midst of the | wild life
