Song Description

a man reflects on how opposite his partner is from himself

Lyrics

I ALWAYS WALKED THE STRAIGHT LINE
I HELD MY TONGUE AT THE BACK OF MY THROAT
I COMPOSED SOME GREAT LINES
THAT ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE ONE NOTE
GUESS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
CAUSE OPPOSITES WILL ALWAYS ATTRACT
NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHO I WAS BEFORE YOU CROSSED MY PATH

CHORUS:
I'M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE YOU
OR MOLD YOU INTO MY PARTICULAR STYLE
I'M NOT TRYING TO TAME YOU
CAUSE YOU'RE MAKING ME WILD ABOUT THE WILD

WILDNESS USED TO BUG ME
NOW IT'S ALL I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT
NOT SURE WHY YOU DUG ME
ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I'VE FOUND OUT
THE FLAWS MAKE THE BEAUTY
THE PAUSES SET A MELODY FREE
ROCK AND RAP DON'T SUIT ME
BUT I'M SINGING AS WILDLY AS I'VE BEEN

CHORUS

THEY SAY YOU CAN'T CHANGE A MEMORY
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'LL KEEP ON TRYING I GUESS
YOU'VE RAISED THE ROOF AND BELIEVE ME
MY PAST IS NOTHING AND NOTHING'S LEFT

I COULD NEVER BE YOU
AND BABE, YOU SURE DON'T WANNA BE ME
BUT EVERY TIME I SEE YOU
I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL A BIT MORE FREE
PEOPLE PROBABLY WONDER
WHAT IT IS THAT KEEPS US UP ALL NIGHT
WELL I'M ROLLING THUNDER
AND YOU'RE A WONDROUS, A WONDROUS FLASH OF LIGHT

CHORUS
