lyrics

Shooting star into the sea, see other plans for thee.
Forces that be or not be
force other hands unseen.

But very late at night, fixed on the ceiling
I, I, I remember who's dealing.
I heard you last night across the thick black forest, howling out my name.
Never said I was unhappy
Just cause’ I can't be tamed,
tamed, tamed, tamed.

You're your most fierce foe,
like, I'm in a deep, deep hole.
Ghastly ghost daddy, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh ,oh, oh.

I heard you last night across the thick black forest, howling out my name.
Never said I was unhappy
Just cause’ I can't be tamed, tamed, tamed
on an eve crammed with stars
so blue, blue, blue, blue.
