Wandering Child Lyrics

I wish I met you, further along
Gave you my older heart, still and strong
But I wouldn't have a fire like I do today
Oh it burns for you babe

Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray
Oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

When your footsteps conquer the streets
From your eyes to the soles of your feet
May my body and heart remain wild
For I'm a wandering child

I could keep an arms length, so I don't fall
I never learned to punch with my back against the wall
Oh no, I gotta let it go
And I got a feeling, deep in my bones
I can't sit still when there's a space up in the road
There's a fire coming on you in your lane
Oh it burns for you babe

Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray
Oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

When your footsteps conquer the streets
From your eyes to the soles of your feet
May my body and heart remain wild
For I'm a wandering child

And I hope to god the time ain't wrong
And I hope to god the time ain't wrong
Cause I can't be hanging on like this for long

What is the Meaning of Wandering Child?

This track is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and longing. The lyrics reflect a deep yearning for someone, but also an inherent restlessness within the speaker. They wish they had met their love later in life when they might've been more settled, yet acknowledge that their current passion wouldn't exist without their youthful impulsiveness. The references to being "led astray" and being a "wandering child" suggest a struggle with commitment or settling down, despite strong feelings for the person they're singing to. It's about wrestling with the desire to roam free and the pull of profound affection, creating a beautiful tension that resonates throughout the song.
