Wild
Hugo Helmig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I called a truce not long ago
Why you missing my good intentions?
I'm far away from home
But I know that's not the point
Maybe I forgot to mention
That I'm always around to be what you need
Always thinking about us two
Getting around to be what you need
Your love got me on a wire
You're driving me wild
Your love take me just a little bit higher
And out of my mind
You're driving me (wild)
You're driving me wild
You're calling me just to say hello
Hoping I was coming over
But I'm stuck in Copenhagen
And I didn't pick up the phone
I was just in the middle of something
Maybe I forgot to mention
That I'm always around to be what you need
And I'm thinking about you
Always thinking about us two
Getting around to be what you need
Your love got me on a wire
You're driving me wild
Your love take me just a little bit higher
And out of my mind
You're driving me (wild)
Oh no
You're driving me
Don't blame what I used to be
Will never be the same if you don't believe
And if you walk away from you and me
I'm nothing, you're driving me (wild)
Don't blame what I used to be
Will never be the same if you don't believe
And if you walk away from you and me
I'm nothing (I'm nothing, baby)
Your love got me on a wire
You're driving me wild
Your love take me just a little bit higher
And out of my mind
Yeah, yeah, you're driving me (wild)
Oh no, you're driving me wild, baby
It's like I can't keep up with you
Oh, yeah, yeah, you're driving me wild, baby
You're driving me wild

I'm calling you when I feel alone
I call you when I'm lonely
I called a truce not long ago
I recently made peace with you
Why you missing my good intentions?
Why don't you understand that I mean well?
I'm far away from home
I'm not in my home city
But I know that's not the point
I understand that's not the issue
Maybe I forgot to mention
Perhaps I neglected to say
That I'm always around to be what you need
I'm always here for you
And I'm thinking about you
I'm frequently on your mind
Always thinking about us two
I always consider our relationship
Getting around to be what you need
I'm making an effort to meet your needs
Your love got me on a wire
Your love has me in a vulnerable position
You're driving me wild
You're making me crazy with desire
Your love take me just a little bit higher
Your love elevates me
And out of my mind
I lose my rationality because of you
You're driving me (wild)
You're making me crazy with desire
Oh no
Oh dear
You're calling me just to say hello
You call me just to greet me
Hoping I was coming over
Expecting me to visit you
But I'm stuck in Copenhagen
But I'm unable to leave Copenhagen
And I didn't pick up the phone
I failed to answer the phone
I was just in the middle of something
I was preoccupied
Don't blame what I used to be
Don't hold my past against me
Will never be the same if you don't believe
Our relationship will be affected if you don't trust me
And if you walk away from you and me
If you end our relationship
I'm nothing, you're driving me (wild)
Without you, I'm nothing and I'm consumed with desire for you
I'm nothing (I'm nothing, baby)
Without you, I'm worthless
Yeah, yeah, you're driving me (wild)
Yes, you make me crazy with desire
It's like I can't keep up with you
I feel like I can't match your pace
Oh, yeah, yeah, you're driving me wild, baby
You make me crazy with desire, baby
You're driving me wild
You're making me crazy with desire
