Wild Rivers

I wish I met you further along Gave you my older heart, still and strong But I wouldn't have a fire like I do today Oh, it burns for you babe

Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray Oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

When your footsteps conquer the street From your eyes to the soles of your feet May my body and heart remain wild For I'm a wandering child

I could keep an arms length So I don't fall I never learned to punch with my back against the wall Oh no, I gotta let it go

And I got a feeling Deep in my bones I can't sit still when there's a space up in the road There's a fire coming on you in your lane And it burns for you, babe

And I hope to god the time ain't wrong And I hope to god the time ain't wrong ‘Cause I can't be holding on like this for long [x3]

Meaning of Wandering Child by Wild Rivers

"Wandering Child" by Wild Rivers explores the themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the desire for freedom in relationships. The song reflects on the speaker's past experiences and their current mindset.

The lyrics "I wish I met you further along, Gave you my older heart, still and strong" suggest a longing to have met the person later in life when the speaker feels more mature and experienced. This highlights a sense of regret for not being able to give their all to this relationship.

The line "Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray" reveals the speaker's acknowledgment of their own wandering nature and difficulty in committing to one person. They admit their inclination to be easily swayed or tempted by new experiences or people.

There is also a realization that a significant event or revelation, metaphorically represented by a "blindside hit," has shown them the importance of finding their own path and staying true to themselves. This newfound clarity is expressed through the line "it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way."

The chorus, with the lines "When your footsteps conquer the street, May my body and heart remain wild, For I'm a wandering child," captures the essence of the song's message. The speaker embraces their inherent desire for exploration, freedom, and personal growth. They don't want to lose their individuality or become tethered by the confines of a relationship.

The lyric "I could keep an arms length, So I don't fall, I never learned to punch with my back against the wall" further emphasizes the speaker's fear of vulnerability and their reluctance to fully engage in a relationship. They have a guard up to protect themselves from getting hurt, as they've never learned to rely on others for support.

The repeated line "And I got a feeling, Deep in my bones, I can't sit still when there's a space up in the road" expresses the restlessness and yearning for new experiences that the speaker feels. They have an inner drive to keep moving forward and exploring the unknown.

In the concluding lines, the lyrics "And I hope to god the time ain't wrong, ‘Cause I can't be holding on like this for long" encapsulate the speaker's uncertainty about the timing of their relationship. They are aware that they cannot remain in a state of indecision and hope that they won't have to hold onto this uncertain situation for much longer.

Overall, "Wandering Child" delves into the conflict between the desire for individual freedom and the longing for a deep connection. It explores the complex emotions of regret, self-discovery, vulnerability, and the internal struggle to find a path that allows for personal growth without compromising one's own identity.
