I don’t mean quiet I mean you could hear yourself inside? I don’t know You should try, cause when I listen After all that time, when I listen to me I feel wild wild wild wild wild Wild and free When I left home for the road I held my life in my hand But then I slowly lost grip And now I’m taking it back again To say what I feel And to feel what I say They have to be the same I believe that there’s something Maybe somewhere A way to be Maybe it’s a person, not a place Say what you mean When I first saw you When I saw you I felt wild wild wild wild wild When I lost all I had known My grief led me down the road To drown the sound of my pain In that whistling train Give myself to the unknown I could have ended it then I chose anywhere instead And then it led me to you Oh, the world was new I fell in love -- It was easy and clear But I could never say If you felt the same ... Oh, just when I think I know the feeling Feeling you surprises me It rises up and holds me gently Mm, it’s that look in your eye that moves me It draws me in to see what you’re seeing I see you seeing me In this moment And you’re thinking like me It can’t be just this moment There’s a flicker, a flame It’s asking what comes after When I’m with you When I’m with you You make me feel wild Feel wild I feel wild Feel wild I see us being wild wild wild wild wild Wild and free MORE ABOUT WATER FOR ELEPHANTS The critically acclaimed bestselling novel WATER FOR ELEPHANTS comes to vivid life on Broadway in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical.
