Wide Eyed Wandering Child

(album: To Carry A Whale - 2021)

You're living like a hurricane today
Sleeping on the sand by the bay
A little bit of cocaine and you're okay
Wide eyed wandering child

Is there nothing we can tell to the boy
Who's playing with the world like a toy?
Yeah, I know about a quick ride on a summer night
Wide eyed wandering child

Yeah I know the way that you dream
We're both dying to be seen

Reality star boy for real
Reality kicking in when you see
How you just lost the ground from your feet
And your lover at the beach
Wide eyed wandering child

Yeah I know the way that you dream
We're both dying to be seen

I'd love to tell you we're just the same in a way
A million mistakes
Brother, I see through all of the jokes that you make
To deny how you ache

You're living like a hurricane today
Sleeping on the sand by the bay
A little bit of cocaine and you're okay
Wide eyed wandering child
