Wild Once Lyrics - Laura Marling

They put my hands in water 

Told me I'm a god 

I might be someone's daughter 

Might be somewhat odd 

But I was wild once 

And I can't forget it 

I was wild, chasing stones 

The martyr who feels the fire 

And the child who knows his name 

They remember that there's something wild 

And it's something you can't explain 

Oh it's something you can't explain 

They are wild 

And they can't forget it 

They are wild, chasing stones

It's hard if you can't change it 

It's worse if you don't try 

You will sit down to explain it 

And you're constantly asking why 

You are constantly asking why 

Well, you are wild 

And you must remember 

You are wild, chasing stones 

Does no one understand you? 

Is that tired and familial long? 

You must change what hands you 

Give me something to go on 

Give me something to go on 

You are wild 

And I won't forget it 

You are wild, chasing stones

Well there is something just beneath 

There is something just beneath 

Something shy and hard to see 

It's a ring that is clean 

It's a ring
