I was by the book
Never hooked on drugs
My mother wasn't really into
Giving hugs
Getting all As
Never broke the rules
Top of my class
In Sunday school
But I'm in a new season
I'm in a new way
Don't need a reason
I need a change
I just wanna be
I just wanna be a wild child
I just wanna see
What it's like to be the wild child
I'm a little late for my rebel phase
But right at home
In the purple haze
I just wanna be
I just wanna be a wild child
When I was 32
I got my first tattoo
Three little flowers
On my arm for you
I was scared to tell my dad
But I don't know why
I haven't lived at home since
2009
But what does fear get me
What do I gain
I just wanna be
I just wanna be a wild child
I just wanna see
What it's like to be the wild child
I'm a little late for my rebel phase
But right at home
In the purple haze
I just wanna be
I just wanna be a wild child
Late bloomer
I wish I would of met myself
A little sooner
But there's no going back now
There's going back now
I just wanna be
I just wanna be a wild child
I just wanna see
What it's like to be the wild child
I'm a little late for my rebel phase
But right at home in the purple haze
I just wanna be
I just wanna be a wild child
I just wanna be a wild child
I just wanna be a wild child
