Marling, Laura - Wild Once Lyrics
They put my hands in water
Told me I'm a god
I might be someone's daughter
Might be somewhat odd
I know I can't forget it
I was wild, chasing stones
The martyr who feels the fire
And the child who knows his name
They remember that there's something wild
And it's something you can't explain
Oh it's something you can't explain
They are wild
They are wild, chasing stones
It's hard if you can't change it
It's worse if you don't try
You will sit down to explain it
And you're constantly asking why
You are constantly asking why
Well, you are wild
And you must remember
You are wild, chasing stones
Does no one understand you?
Is that tired and familial long?
You must change what hands you
Give me something to go on
Give me something to go on
You are wild
And I won't forget it
You are wild, chasing stones
There is something just beneath
There is something just beneath
Something shy and hard to see
It's a ring that is clean
It's a ring

Marling, Laura Wild Once Comments
Anyone else finding that the playback is stuttering a bit on this wonderful song?
Sounds a bit like Vampire Weekend
They put my hands in water
Told me I'm a god
I might be someone's daughter
Might be somewhat odd
But I was wild once
And I can't forget it
I was wild, chasing stones
The martyr who feels the fire
And the child who knows his name
They remember that there's something wild
And it's something you can't explain
Oh it's something you can't explain
They are wild
And they can't forget it
They are wild, chasing stones
It's hard if you can't change it
It's worse if you don't try
You will sit down to explain it
And you're constantly asking why
You are constantly asking why
Well, you are wild
And you must remember
You are wild, chasing stones
Does no one understand you?
Is that tired and familial long?
You must change what hands you
Give me something to go on
Give me something to go on
You are wild
And I won't forget it
You are wild, chasing stones
Well there is something just beneath
There is something just beneath
Something shy and hard to see
It's a ring that is clean
It's a ring
you know the lyrics are too good when you read them faster than the song
Woah, this is beautiful
Anyone here cuz of Dodie? I really like that too!
Masterpiece of an album & masterpiece of a song.
Wow this is beautiful!
My favourite track. Puts me in a daze. The way the strings occur. Also in a day when so many English musicians are doing their best to sound American accent-wise, I adore the fact that Laura is being true to herself and enunciating properly. Such a gorgeous album from start to finish.
I think songs inspired by her time in America are sung in an appropriate accent and UK inspired songs same. Simple as
I love the way her accent pops out at the beginning. They put my hands in WAUTUH. I might be someone's DAUGHTUH. Also the song is beautiful.
This song speaks volumes, I want to Write songs with you.
This one does not sound like pray for me, really, but every time I hear "the child who knows his name" I think of "how does a child know where mother's weakness goes"
both amazing songs.
Laura is my favorite artist. Although I find great songs in each one of her albuns, A creature I don't know is still my favorite as a whole
don't know if this or "the valley" is my favorite track
It's a tough one. Think I'd have to go with The Valley, though.
Yeah...thats hard to say.
Short Movie is still my favorite album by Laura. I like this one but nothing compares to Short Movie
Might have to agree with that. At least 5 songs from Short Movie strike me as timeless.
I listened to this whole album this morning. It's a work of art.
Wow!!! Wonderful Music Composition.
