"Wildchild" lyrics - ALEX WARREN

[Verse 1: Alex Warren]
You were young enough to think I was invincible
And brave enough to think that you were too
You were on the rooftop singing all your favorite songs
Making up the words and I was so amazed by you

[Chorus: Alex Warren]
Oh, my wildchild you were born, you hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while but I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wildchild, oh, wildchild

[Verse 2: Alex Warren]
You were learning how to skate in empty swimming pools
And laughing 'til the neighbors called the cops
You were always getting up to something, never changed that tune you hummed
And everybody knew that song, they just grew up and forgot

[Chorus: Alex Warren]
Wildchild you were born, you hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while but I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wildchild

[Outro: Alex Warren]
Say you're gonna stay young
Say you're gonna stay free
Looking at you, looking at me
Say "I'm always gonna be
My wild, wild, wildchild"

[Outro: James Ward Hughes]
(Are you having fun, Alex?)
(He's a tough kid, you're a tough kid, you know that?)

[Electric Guitar Solo: John Mayer]
