Wild Boy

If you were every wild boy and I was every pretty girl
We'd pass in the park, a temporary carnival
In our town, we light fire for rain
In our town, we light the fires again
Cause every ship at sea deserves a harbor, don't I know it
No little tree alone can make an arbor, don't I know it
You're the kind of drink that makes each lonely girl
Feel brave and smarter, wild boy
Don't I know it, wild boy
I heard you on the airplane, loud as any child
Your laughter was familiar, your hair was wild
In our town we light fire for rain
In our town we light the fires again
Cause every ship at sea deserves a harbor, don't I know it
No little tree alone can make an arbor, don't I know it
You're the kind of drink that makes each lonely girl feel brave and smarter
Burn on the way down but you're a firey battery jump-starter
Hang your cans up, 'cause all the boats are heavy in the water, wild boy
Don't I know it, wild boy
If you were every wild boy, the kind of summer sun
I'd pass you in the park, tag you and run
In our town we light fire for rain
In our town we light the fires again
Cause every ship at sea deserves a harbor don't I know it
No little tree alone can make an arbor don't I know it
You're the kind of drink that makes each lonely girl
Feel brave and smarter, wild boy, wild boy
Don't I know it, wild boy
Don't I know it, wild boy
