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?

[02:37.115] Something tamed[02:38.349] Something wild

[02:37.115] Something tamed[02:38.349] 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
