Wild
Troye Sivan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Wild, wild, hey)

Trying hard not to fall
On the way home
You were trying to wear me down, down
Kissing up on fences and up on walls
On the way home
I guess it's all working out, now

'Cause there's still too long to the weekend
Too long till I drown in your hands
Too long since I've been a fool, oh

Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild
'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild

We're alike you and I
Two blue hearts locked in our wrong minds
So can we make the most out of no time?
Can you hold me?
Can you make me leave my demons and my broken pieces behind?

'Cause there's still too long to the weekend
Too long till I drown in your hands
Too long since I've been a fool, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild
'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild

You make my heart shake bend and break
But I can't turn away
And it's driving me wild
You're driving me wild

You make my heart shake bend and break
But I can't turn away
And it's driving me wild
You're driving me wild
Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild
'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild

You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild





(Wild, wild, hey)

Line by Line Meaning

Trying hard not to fall
Struggling to keep from getting too attached to you


On the way home
After spending time with you


You were trying to wear me down, down
You were trying to break through my defenses and get me to open up


Kissing up on fences and up on walls
Being spontaneous and adventurous with you


I guess it's all working out, now
My feelings for you are growing stronger


'Cause there's still too long to the weekend
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing you again


Too long till I drown in your hands
I can't wait to be with you again


Too long since I've been a fool, oh
It's been too long since I've felt this way about someone


Leave this blue neighbourhood
Escape from the sadness and loneliness of my current life


Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
I never knew that feeling this much love could be so painful


And it drives me wild
My emotions are overwhelming and confusing


'Cause when you look like that
Your beauty is captivating


I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
I've never felt this strongly about someone before


You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're making me go crazy with desire


We're alike you and I
We share similar pain and struggle


Two blue hearts locked in our wrong minds
Our emotional trauma keeps us from being truly happy


So can we make the most out of no time?
Let's make the most of whatever time we have together


Can you hold me?
Can you provide me with the love and support I need?


Can you make me leave my demons and my broken pieces behind?
Can you help me move past my emotional baggage?


You make my heart shake bend and break
Your love and passion are overwhelming me


But I can't turn away
I'm too far gone to ever stop loving you


And it's driving me wild
My feelings are causing me to act impulsively


You're driving me wild
Your actions and love are making me lose control
