Know The Wild That Wants You Lyrics

Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop Know The Wild That Wants You

[Verse 1: Jesca Hoop & (Both)]
When you were boy, you stuck a thumb inside the light, inside the light
Morning bottle warm
Holy compass ready, you would run into the wild, into the wild
Gathered in its arms
(In its arms)
(In its arms)

[Verse 2: Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop]
When you're in the city you're a tangled native tongue
Another tongue eating fear for free
Know the wild that wants you
Know you're not another pillow on a gun drifting off to sleep
And come home
And come home

[Chorus: Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop]
Hear your own bones say "Heal yourself, yourself"
Hear your own heart moan
"Love yourself, yourself"

[Verse 3: Sam Beam]
When you were a girl, salt was beading down your back
And all the braves were tangled in your hair
Candy for your lips and for your love
All you were given was a bruise
Falling down the stairs
[Verse 4: Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop]
When you're in the city and it's talking to itself, to itself
Stealing what you sing
Know the wild that wants you when the sun is underground
And park police are laughing off your leaves

[Chorus: Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop]
Hear your own bones say "Heal yourself, yourself"
Hear your own heart moan
"Love yourself, yourself"

[Outro]
And come home
And come home
And come home
And come home
