Lost & Found
Taken by Trees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the evening I was running
I hadn't done this for a long while
My friend said cheer up, it was high time
But can't you see I'm lovesick?
I need a cure so bring it real quick
This time I'm fearing heartbreak
Oh, I don't want to settle down
I don't want to leave this town
I'm feeling lost and found
Am I wild, wild, wild, wild, wild?
Oh, I am most dissatisfied
You can tell this looking in my eyes
She looks like a lovely piece of art
But pills plus miles tear us apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I took myself out walking
By the evening I was running
I hadn't done this for a long while
My friend said cheer up, it was high time
But can't you see I'm lovesick?
I need a cure so bring it real quick
This time I'm fearing heartbreak
Look at the time, it's almost daybreak
Oh, I don't want to settle down
I don't want to leave this town
I'm feeling lost and found
Am I wild, wild, wild, wild, wild?
Am I wild, wild, wild, wild, wild?
Aren't we wild, wild, wild, wild, wild?
The song "Lost & Found" by Taken by Trees is a reflection of the singer's emotional state as she grapples with the highs and lows of love. It starts with her taking herself out for a walk, but by the evening she is running, which suggests that she is trying to escape her feelings of love sickness. She is feeling lost and she is unsure of what she wants. She expresses her fear of heartbreak and her need for a quick cure to her lovesickness. At the same time, she doesn't want to settle down, but she doesn't want to leave town either. She feels like she is lost and found at the same time.
The second verse shows the singer expressing her dissatisfaction with her current relationship. She sees her lover as a lovely piece of art, but she feels that distance and pills are tearing them apart. The song shows the internal struggle of someone who is in love but afraid of getting hurt. The chorus repeats the phrase "Am I wild" suggesting that the singer is unsure of herself and her own thoughts and feelings. The song ends with the singer wondering if we are all wild, highlighting the universal struggle of love and the confusion that comes with it.

I took myself out walking
I decided to go for a walk by myself
By the evening I was running
As the night wore on, I began running
I hadn't done this for a long while
It's been a long time since I've done this
My friend said cheer up, it was high time
My friend thought it was time for me to feel happy again
But can't you see I'm lovesick?
Can't you see I'm suffering from love?
I need a cure so bring it real quick
I need a remedy immediately
This time I'm fearing heartbreak
I'm scared of getting my heart broken this time
Look at the time, it's almost daybreak
It's getting late and almost morning
Oh, I don't want to settle down
I don't want to commit to anything
I don't want to leave this town
I like it here and I don't want to move
I'm feeling lost and found
I'm experiencing a mix of emotions
Am I wild, wild, wild, wild, wild?
I wonder if I'm free-spirited
Oh, I am most dissatisfied
I'm very unhappy
You can tell this looking in my eyes
You can see it if you look into my eyes
She looks like a lovely piece of art
My lover is beautiful like a work of art
But pills plus miles tear us apart
But taking drugs and being far away from each other is breaking us up
Aren't we wild, wild, wild, wild, wild?
Aren't we all free-spirited?

I took myself out walking
But the evening I was running
I hadn't done this for a long while
My friends said cheer up
It was high time
But can't you see I'm lovesick
I need a cure so bring it real quick
This time I'm fearing heartbreak
Look at the time it's almost daybreak
Well I don't want to settle town
I don't want to leave this town
I'm feeling lost and found
Am I wild, wild, wild, wild?
Well I am most dissatisfied
You can tell this looking in my eyes
She looks like a lovely piece of art
But pills plus must tear us apart
I took myself out walking
By the evening I was running
I hadn't done this for a long while
My friends said cheer up
It was high time
But can't you see I'm lovesick
I need a cure so bring it real quick
This time I'm fearing heartbreak
Look at the time it's almost daybreak
Well I dont want to settle down
I dont want to leave this town
I'm feeling lost and found
Am I wild, wild, wild, wild?

That voice! It was what made me stop doing what I was doing one day when I first heard a song by The Concretes and just listen. Her voice is other-worldy and dreamy.

At first an assumed unwanted melody to my ears, then the moment before I tried to change it, the peaceful rhythm hit me. Now it's on repeat.
