[English]

Eyelids split at sunrise

Morning breaks like splatter paint

Wipe the dust from my eyes

You must have left before morning came

Flashes of the night come rushing in

In a stampede of misbehaviors

Just a sophomore running my mouth

I really thought that I could save us

And we're only animals

Didn't mean to start a forest fire

Brush the ashes off your shoulders

Let's get lost in the wild

We're all built for something

Trying to find a starting line

Don't look over your shoulders

Let's get lost in the wild

...

Let's get lost in the wild

...

Let's get lost in the wild

Something shocks my muscles

Hard rain backhands my senses

Now I'm flying fast on my feet

Skipping rivers, clearing them fences

I'm tracking you into the city

Ooh, under the pressure of the traffic lights

I'm chasing the clues you left me

That you might still join me in the wild

And we're only animals

Didn't mean to start a forest fire

Brush the ashes off your shoulders

Let's get lost in the wild

We're all built for something

Trying to find a starting line

Don't look over your shoulders

Let's get lost in the wild

...

Let's get lost in the wild

...

Let's get lost in the wild

Scratches on my hands and feet

You belong out here with me

Tearing up my hands and feet

You belong out here with me

You belong out here with me

I'm flying fast on my feet

...

And we're only animals

Didn't mean to start a forest fire

Brush the ashes off your shoulders

Let's get lost in the wild

We're all built for something

Trying to find a starting line

Don't look over your shoulders

Let's get lost in the wild

...

Let's get lost in the wild

...

Let's get lost in the wild

Let's get lost in the wild

Let's get lost in the wild

...
