Tame

Do you realize you've tamed me?
You've got me eating out of the
Palms of your hands now, baby
What will you do with me?
Let me sleep in the yard?
Or invite me inside
Let down your guard

Cause I am a dog-gone wreck
Got caught in a net, and
You stopped by to release me
I knew it dangerous enough to follow you home
But you knew better than to keep me

When dancing with a wild thing
Stops making your heart sing
And your looks become less than enthused
I'll shake it all off
And lay down at your feet while you rest
It's the best I can do

It's a fucking mess and I've been living in it
I don't even really believe you'd stay
But I've given my life over to love anyway
And I've always been left out in the rain

Do you realize
The position I'm in?
Sell your soul to be blind
To what could keep you alive
Take it by the day
Then you realize at night
That your judgment ain't clear
When you've spent your whole life
Searching for warmth

Cause I am a dog-gone wreck
Got caught in a net, and
You stopped by to release me
I knew it dangerous enough to follow you home
But you knew better than to keep me

When dancing with a wild thing
Stops making your heart sing
And your looks become less than enthused
I'll shake it all off
And lay down at your feet while you rest
It's the best I can do

It's a fucking mess and I've been living in it
I don't even really believe you'd stay
But I've given my life over to love anyway
And I've always been left out in the rain

But you never showed
And you left me out in the cold
Years of carrot trails and glistening promises
Teaching a wild thing how to hope

I hope you fucking miss
Having something to hold
All I am now
Is footprints in the snow
