Know The Wild That Wants You (feat. Jesca Hoop)

When you were boy, you stuck a thumb inside the light, inside the light
Morning bottle warm
Holy compass ready, you would run into the wild, into the wild
Gathered in its arms
(In its arms)
(In its arms)

When you're in the city you're a tangled native tongue
Another tongue eating fear for free
Know the wild that wants you
Know you're not another pillow on a gun drifting off to sleep
And come home
And come home

Hear your own bones say: Heal yourself, yourself
Hear your own heart moan
Love yourself, yourself

When you were a girl, salt was beading down your back
And all the braves were tangled in your hair
Candy for your lips and for your love
All you were given was a bruise
Falling down the stairs

When you're in the city and it's talking to itself, to itself
Stealing what you sing
Know the wild that wants you when the Sun is underground
And park police are laughing off your leaves

Hear your own bones say: Heal yourself, yourself
Hear your own heart moan
Love yourself, yourself

And come home
And come home
And come home
And come home
