Best songs by Wild Child: The Jam You Need This December

Pillow Talk

When I sleep, I’m dreaming
When I sleep, I’m dreaming
When I sleep, I’m dreaming for you

Feel my heart it’s aching
Wish I could stop breaking
Spend all day just thinking for you

When you sleep, I’m thinking
When you sleep, I’m thinking
When you sleep, I’m thinking for her

Wish I still could love you
Floating high above you
Just don’t think I’m sinking for you

This pillow talk
Don’t wake me up
My dream is done
I’m still in love
I know your fears
Just lying here
I think I’ll leave
Please don’t my dear
This pillow talk will wake me up
No matter what I’m dreaming

When you leave, I’m lying
When you leave, I’m lying
When you leave, I’m lying for you

And I know it hurts you
Nothing else I can do
You won’t let me, though I want to

When you leave, I’m lonely
When you leave, I’m lonely
When you leave, I’m lonely for you

Roll around in our bed
Can’t stop thoughts in my head
The screaming girl just gets up for you

Pack my things, I’m leaving
Wish I could stop breathing
Know you’ll be coming back for me
If we fight and make up
If we fight and make up
If we fight, we wake up lonely

Silly Things

Silly things, like diamond rings
Fall between other things like you and I
We used to have, a coffee pot, we used it a lot
To sit around and talk about everything
We always want, but we’ll never get

But a dreamer is still a dreamer until you wake them up
And sit them down and explain to them
The sky is up and the earth is down amongst other things
Like human beings, they really aren’t what they seem
They will lie cheat and steal to get ahead of you

And I’m afraid it’s true
When the world comes crashing down what are they to do
I’m not blaming you, for being naive
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming about candle light
Forget about stupid fights
And it’s funny to me

I can’t remember a single thing that we fought about
Now that I’m alone, I guess that’s how it goes
But I do remember every time you kissed my neck
Ooh I love that the best
Won’t be getting none of those
Now that you’re an LA queen and away from me
Now that I’m an LA queen and away from you

But, darling, remember please
That people lie and cheat and steal to get ahead of you
I’m afraid it’s true
When the world comes crashing down what are they to do
And I’m not blaming you for being naive
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming

Darling, come get your coffee pot
Because it hasn’t been used
Since I last used you

Expectations

We met and it was simple
I had it all and you were the one
That would make it all okay
You made me feel so different
We had each other night after night
All my troubles went away
But of course it’s just not the same
You try to hold too tightly
Everything’s gonna change
Make the rules and it’s just a game

I can’t stop burning bridges
I’ll win you over, make you my own
And then we’ll both feel different
You can’t possibly give what I want from you
I know I said you were perfect
I made the rules that you didn’t know
All of these expectations
You can’t possibly give what I want from you

So now I treat you different
I made a list of all that I need
And I left it up to you
I treat you like a stranger
And talk to strangers like they know me
It’s your fault for all I do
As if you don’t suffer too
I tied up all our shit
Into something that we can’t undo
These are the rules I should follow too

Oh it’s all my fault
Never meant to be so unkind
Now I don’t listen when you talk
And what it comes down to is
I’m just afraid to lose something that shouldn’t be mine

Warm Body

Every time I close my eyes I hear your voice and see your smile
Wish I could feel it, spread through my lips

If you forget to think my name I”ll send it floating on a wave
Right into your hands, so you can trace it in the sand

If I cant swim if I cant float I’d build my love into a boat and sail to you dear
Instead I’m stuck here
All of my thoughts are stranded seaside yet I know it would be alright if you were here
Lying warm soft and near

Just knowing how it feels right, to close my eyes when I’m by your side
Feel your fingers laced within mine, makes me feel in love again

But darling know when I wake, open sleepy eyes to your face
Feel so lonely think I might take off without a note again

So we fall back down, but everybody does
Just because we hold each other up don’t mean that we’re in love
But when I need you, and if you trust me do you trust me
You just might be, the one for me tonight

So we go back into the verse to tell the story of the curse of you and me dear
My wicked words and your stained tears
I’m thinking if you see the stars and dream of lying in my arms
Well then I’m there then, with my heart in my hands

If you need bread well I would bake, I’m not a cook I’m not a saint
But I would try it all, to see a smile so small
Could you imagine a place where fields of flowers made of space and stars
Like your eyes, shine both day and night

Just knowing how it feels right, to close my eyes when I’m by your side
Feel your fingers laced within mine, makes me feel in love again

But darling know when I wake, open sleepy eyes to your face
Feel so lonely think I might take off without a note again

And since I cant see your eyes I’ll use the moon up in the sky
To melt your heart dear, to sooth your worries and your fears
And so as long as we’re apart we’ll use the waves to send our hearts
Through wind and currents, until you can come home again

Whiskey Dreams

Don’t wake me up
Took so long for me
To fall asleep last night
Through tears I could hardly breathe
Thinking maybe these stupid whiskey dreams
Are going to kill me soon

Tried my best to go out last night
Saw some people, didn’t care
Couldn’t even try
Thinking darling that you should take me back
Before I lose my mind

Rain rains on everything I need
I keep my head dry
You keep my knees weak

I feel so tired
I need to rest my head
Can’t close my eyes so I give up and crawl out of bed
Thinking maybe you already know the truth
I’d never do

Rub my eyes, splash the water cold
See my weary face so lonely sick and old
Thinking darling that, you should take me back
Before I lose my mind

Rain rains on everything I need
I keep my head dry
You leave my knees weak

So I’m done, I can’t breathe anymore
I lie awake and burning cold on the kitchen floor
Now I swear that I, I will never try
To trust a bitch again
