The summer sun it cast it's spell
Jump out your window go down your dell
There's a world beyond your grassy lawn

Adventure at the break of dawn
The summer wind it's whistling
The wilderness soliciting

So let's run without turning our backs
Bare supplies are in our bags.


We've no need for the things that cash can earn
And no desire for what we're taught to yearn
In time we may step back, see our mistakes, and learn

But for now we're young and free with no intention to return.

Chorus:

Call us the wild things, the kings of summer
Call us freedom chasers. Call us danger lovers
We're wanting and we're wishing in this world of wonder

We're seeking and we're searching cause we're not getting any younger.

The summer nights are crystal clear

The air is warm and you are near
We stay up late then sleep too long
With no one to tell us that's wrong

The summer days they last for miles
Not in floorboards or in tiles
In the open armed stretching sky

and the friends that we keep nearby.

We've no comfort in these old familiar homes

We're itching for what waits for us in the great unknown
To mark a trail, to beat a path that we can call our own
To run away from the day they tell us that we're grown


(chorus)


And I can't have eternal sunshine
But when I yell atop a mountain I swear the world is mine
And i can't have eternal youth

But with the season waiting for us I swear there's nothing we can't do.

(chorus)
