Something Tamed Something Wild Lyrics - The Things That We Are Made Of - Mary Chapin Carpenter

There's a shoebox full of letters 

Bound up neatly with some twine 

Each one was like a diamond, 

Now the jewel is lost to time 

 

My reward is in the knowing 

That I held it in my hands for a little while 

 

What else are there 

But the treasures in your heart? 

 

Something tamed 

Something wild 

 

For every time that I've been 

Foolish when I'd wish that I'd been wise 

 

The power of regret still gets me 

Right between the eyes.

And sometimes I want to weep 

With nothing but the tears of a little child 

 

What else are there but 

The lessons in your heart? 

 

Something tamed 

Something wild 

 

Here's a map I've memorized of 

Everywhere I've ever been. 

 

And the faces of everyone I've 

Loved and left to try again 

 

I couldn't make out 

What they were saying 

 

So instead I listened hard to what's inside 

 

What else are there but 

The voice in your heart? 

 

Something tamed 

Something wild

Some nights I'm woken up by 

Something stirring in my chest 

 

It's a feeling I've no name for 

It's hard to catch my breath 

 

I'm staring down the great big lonesome 

As I'm listening for 

The dwindling of time 

 

What else are there but 

The echoes in your heart? 

 

Something tamed 

Something wild 

 

So the things that matter to me 

Now are different from the past 

 

I care less about arriving than 

Just being in the path 

Of some light carved out of nothing 

 

The way it feels when the universe has smiled 

 

What else are there but 

The beating of your heart? 

 

Something tamed 

Something wild 

 

There's the shoebox full of letters 

There's the map I won't forget 

The voices and the lessons 

And the signals that connect us 

 

Manifested to the spirit 

Way deep down where it goes unseen by the eye 

 

What else is there but the love inside your heart? 

 

To a life like a firework's to a spark 

Over and above you in it's arc 

 

Something tamed 

Something wild
