Intro Verse Life was gray when I grew up. Everyone around me seemed stuck, Like all their dreams had broke on them, And opportunities all closed on them. Bridge But this couldn't be what life was meant to be. I couldn't let it suffocate me. Oh oh Chorus I'm a wild child. I fell in love with the wild fire. To live fast and to die young! To break away, hallelujah! Wham bam boom, run right through ya. Verse I took the only way out I knew. I got doped up, and away I flew. I hit the streets, and I hit the juice. I rock-and-rolled and let all hell break loose. Bridge I didn't care if I choked and died. At least I would know I had felt alive. Oh oh Chorus I'm a wild child. I fell in love with the wild fire. To live fast and to die young! To break away, hallelujah! Wham bam boom, run right through ya. Verse All of these stories, they end the same. You wreck your chances, and you're left with shame. Sometimes I think I'm just a big mistake. And now I'm worse off than what I tried to escape. Bridge But when the surge of action comes, I can't help myself. I love nothing else. Oh oh Chorus I'm a wild child. I fell in love with the wild fire. To live fast and to die young! To break away, hallelujah! Wham bam boom, run right through ya. Outro
