There's a shoebox full of letters
bound up neatly with some twine
Each one was like a diamond,
Now the jewel is lost to time.My reward is in the knowing
that I held it in my hands for a little whileWhat else are there
but the treasures in your heart?Something Tamed
Something WildFor every time that I've been
Foolish when I'd wish that I'd been wiseThe power of regret still gets me
Right between the eyes.And sometimes I want to weep
With nothing but the tears of a little childWhat else are there but
the lessons in your heart?Something Tamed
Something WildHere's a map I've memorized of
Everywhere I've ever been.And the faces of everyone I've
Loved and left to try againI couldn't make out
what they were sayingSo instead I listened hard to what's insideWhat else are there but
the voice in your heart?Something tamed
something wild(music)Some nights I'm woken up by
something stirring in my chestIt's a feeling I've no name for
It's hard to catch my breathI'm staring down the great big lonesome
As I'm listening for
The dwindling of timeWhat else are there but
the echoes in your heart?Something tamed
something wildSO the things that matter to me
Now are different from the pastI care less about arriving than
just being in the path
of some light carved out of nothingThe way it feels when the universe has smiledWhat else are there but
the beating of your heart?Something tamed
Something wild(music)There's the shoebox full of letters
There's the map I won't forget
The voices and the lessons
And the signals that connect usManifested to the spirit
Way deep down where it goes unseen by the eyeWhat else is there but the love inside your heart?To a life like a firework's to a spark
Over and above you in it's arcSomething Tamed
Something Wild
