You need somebody there by your side
It's a hand to hold, a place to hide
When you're all alone you can't make a start
You wake up in the morning and it gets so hard (rpt 3)

You might have been having you a dream or two
But today's not the day that your dreams come true
Same old kitchen, it's the same old scene
You can't have your coffee 'cause you spilt your cream

Chorus:

Like a wilderness kid
Like a wilderness kid
You don't know why it is but you never did fit

Sitting in your room and writing your books
You might have the brains but you ain't got the looks
Searching for the truth and living in a lie
Your pen won't work when your ink runs dry

Chorus

There's a picture of a lady hanging on your wall
Do you try and make it move when your friends don't call?
Wasn't worth a dollar, wasn't worth that much
There's no good in looking when you can't touch

Chorus
