I heard you walked on water so I
Hitch-hiked all night trying to find you
These words on my back promise you I'll
Hold my breath while you pass over me
I heard you stopped him dead in his tracks
But I'm not looking for a saviour
So keep your cold stare, black hair, cross that you bear
Far away from me
No, 'cause I'm looking for light yeah I'm looking
You wanna be wayward
But you're not, you're a homegrown soul
You fit perfectly into the sleeves
Of every jacket that you stole
Kick flips and cigarettes, tattoos and mix cassettes
You've got girls and boys lining up to kiss your feet
You say wayward, they say have your way with me
Statue and idol eyes are watching
But you can't see what you're caught in
False faces scratch and claw their way to you
But you just let them in, let them in no
You wanna be wayward
But you're not, you're a homegrown soul
You fit perfectly into the sleeves
Of every jacket that you stole
Kick flips and cigarettes, tattoos and mix cassettes
You've got girls and boys lining up to kiss your feet
You say wayward, they say have your way with me
You think you're on to something don't ya
You think you're on to something don't ya
You think you're on to something don't ya
But you're leaving something out
You wanna be wayward
But you're not, you're a homegrown soul
You fit perfectly into the sleeves
Of every jacket that you stole
Kick flips and cigarettes, tattoos and mix cassettes
You've got girls and boys lining up to kiss your feet
You say wayward, they say have your way with me
