Jason Mraz - Childlike Wild lyrics

words by jason mraz & ariel quirolo

Well I guess I'll treat her right

I guess I'll treat her right more this time

I'll try not to rely try not to rely on the perfect line

Well I see no boundaries

Except for the ones I'm in

And I don't expect you to overcome them

For that's my job description

In a world of players and private eyes

Unless you realize this

There's a whole lot you could miss

Do you know which one I am?

I am the cigarette smoking man

Once an hour I light the flower

And burn baby burn

When is it your turn? Lord tell me when the sun goes down

Cause I feel much better then anyway

Well I see much better then anyway

Well I feel exposed

Although I feel at home

Dressed as a black plastic rose

All flowing head shoulders knees and toes

We dance, we dance, we play,

We rant and rave

We dance, we dance, we play,

We rant and rave

Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me

Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me

Bap paa daa

Early in the morning

Late in the evening, evening

We kinda get delirious

Breaking from the seriousness

I try not to get disoriented

Having chewed too many up on my side

Is it any wonder how I miss your smile

Is it any wonder oh

Is it any wonder oh well

Is it any wonder how I write

Page's layered upon pages

Wish to no one else but me can be accounted for

For this moments sake

I do not become me

For path tunnels or straightaways

I do not watch as often as I should

So instead I sketch my life

A comfortable creature

Slow and beautifully

Slow and beautifully

Oh the smell and tastes of the past nights

Well they're still locked up in my gentle jaw

Not that I am wanting them to go

Just that they are.. oh

And I'm very much aware

The madness of slow motion as you move your legs to walk

I'm very much aware

Of this madness when you talk

Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me

Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me

Bap paa daa

We dance, we play ah

Oh lord we rant and rave

We dance and we play always

We dance, we play ah

Oh lord we rant and rave

We dance and we play always

Thanks to smile :) for these lyrics
