Verse one

When I was younger I used to be wild

As wild as an elephant's child

No one could hold me down

No one could keep me around

Now it's your turn, take a shot

Baby show me everything that you got

Maybe you can keep me alive

Maybe you can get in my mind

But it's only a matter of time

Chorus

Before I run far away

I need to take a holiday

Maybe it's a fall from grace

I gotta find a new place

holiday

I'll set off on a new chase

I gotta see a new face

I need to take a holiday

Verse two

My father, he was always wise

As wise as an elephant's eyes

He couldn't hold me down

He couldn't keep me around

So are you gonna take your shot?

It's the only one that you got

Maybe I'll go out on a limb

Maybe I'll jump in for a swim

When the lights go dim

Chorus

Before I run far away

I need to take a holiday

Maybe it's a fall from grace

I gotta find a new place

holiday

I'll set off on a new chase

I gotta see a new face

I need to take a holiday

Verse three

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

A new start

I've broken too many hearts

And I don't have any clue where to go

I don't know

But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

When I was younger I used to be wild

As wild as an elephant's child

And I don't think I'll ever change

I think I'm gonna stay the same

Chorus

Before I run far away

I need to take a holiday

Maybe it's a fall from grace

I gotta find a new place

holiday

I'll set off on a new chase

I gotta see a new face

I need to take a holiday

A new start

I've broken too many hearts

And I don't have any clue where to go

I don't know

But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

All of the wasted time

The hours that were left behind

answers that we'll never find

They don't mean a thing tonight

, , , until end
