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

Before I run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it´s a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I´ll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

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

You know I´ll run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it´s a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I´ll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday
(Need to take a holiday)

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

I´ll run far away
I need to take a holiday (need to take a holiday)
Maybe it´s a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I´ll set off on a new chase (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
The answers that we´ll never find
They don´t mean a thing tonight
