Lyrics
[Verse 1] You drew a map across the museum floor With chalk-blue rivers, silver mountain chains A paper moon above the dinosaur And little arrows pointing through the names You said the earth is wider when we wonder I felt the whole place tilt beneath my feet A thousand years were turning under thunder Yet you were standing close enough to reach [Pre-Chorus] If every bone remembers where it came from Maybe we can learn the language too [Chorus] Take me where the wild things started Past the salt and redstone plain I want to carry something ancient Without becoming small again You lift your hands, the dust goes golden Every question breaks in two Take me where the wild things started I’ll keep finding worlds with you [Verse 2] The guide spoke softly by the fossil wing While children chased a meteorite display You found a feather tucked beneath a string And held it up like proof of yesterday Outside, the avenue was loud with buses But all i heard was stone beneath the ground The hidden pulse that keeps becoming us The deep, unmeasured turning all around [Pre-Chorus] If every path can open into farther I don’t need to know the final view [Chorus] Take me where the wild things started Past the salt and redstone plain I want to carry something ancient Without becoming small again You lift your hands, the dust goes golden Every question breaks in two Take me where the wild things started I’ll keep finding worlds with you [Bridge] Maybe wonder is a kind of courage Maybe awe can change the shape of fear Put your hand against the glass and listen All the vanished ages still are here [Final chorus] Take me where the wild things started Past the salt and redstone plain I want to carry something ancient Without becoming small again You lift your hands, the dust goes golden Every question breaks in two Take me where the wild things started I’ll keep finding worlds with you [Outro] I’ll keep finding worlds with you Where the wild things started
