wandering child

i wish i met you further along, gave you my older heart, still and strong, but i wouldn't have a fire like i do today, oh, it burns for you babe, oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray, oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way, when your footsteps conquer the street, from your eyes to the soles of your feet, may my body and heart remain wild, for i'm a wandering child, i could keep an arms length, so i don't fall, i never learned to punch with my back against the wall, oh no, i gotta let it go, and i got a feeling, deep in my bones, i can't sit still when there's a space up in the road, there's a fire coming on you in your lane, and it burns for you, babe, oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray, oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way, when your footsteps conquer the street, from your eyes to the soles of your feet, may my body and heart remain wild, for i'm a wandering child, and i hope to god the time ain't wrong, and i hope to god the time ain't wrong, 'cause i can't be holding on like this for long
