Lyrics

[Verse]
I saw the dust of Cairo on your skin
A tan that speaks of places I have never been
You’re talking fast about a train through Spain
While I’m just trying to remember my own name
The gold around your neck was found in some bazaar
You make me feel like I am looking at a star
I’m twice your age and tied to home and lawn
But I could watch you wander 'til the break of dawn

[Chorus]
You’re a wild, wild world
A map I’ll never get to trace
You’re a wild, wild world
With the sunlight on your face
I’ve got a ring and a house on a quiet street
But you’re the only rhythm that I want to meet
You’re a wild, wild world
You’re a wild, wild world

[Verse]
You showed me photos of a beach in Greece
Where the water is a blue that brings you peace
I’m stuck in meetings and these pressed white shirts
But seeing how you live, it almost hurts
There’s a passport in your bag and it’s full of ink
You’re a dangerous high, you’re a heavy drink
I should go back to the life I’m supposed to lead
But you’ve got every single thing I think I need

[Chorus]
You’re a wild, wild world
A map I’ll never get to trace
You’re a wild, wild world
With the sunlight on your face
I’ve got a ring and a house on a quiet street
But you’re the only rhythm that I want to meet
You’re a wild, wild world
You’re a wild, wild world

[Bridge]
She’s calling me from the driveway on my phone
I’m standing here but I feel so alone
The distance in your eyes is ten thousand miles
And I am drowning in the way you smile

[Chorus]
You’re a wild, wild world
A map I’ll never get to trace
You’re a wild, wild world
With the sunlight on your face
I’ve got a ring and a house on a quiet street
But you’re the only rhythm that I want to meet
You’re a wild, wild world
You’re a wild, wild world

[Outro]
