The Wildwood - Seeming

Were we ever more than possible?

Willing candle flame to rise and fall

Pushing matchsticks with our teenage minds

Somehow snap our fingers and kill the lights

Was it real?

I’ve got to know

Is this the glade I fear I made up years ago?

All the ghosts you felt so certain of

Were they just a dream of childhood?

Have you woken, have you heard enough

Or are we finally in the wildwood?

The wildwood

Did I make the stormclouds fall away?

Did I make her love me for a day?

I was thirteen, oh I couldn’t sleep

Shimmering with impossibility

Was it real?

I’ve got to go back to the start

I’ve gotta find my heart, I’ve gotta know

All the ghosts you felt so certain of

Were they just a dream of childhood?

Have you woken, have you heard enough

Or are we finally in the wildwood?

The wildwood

All the ghosts you felt so certain of

(All the ghosts you felt so certain of)

Were they just a dream of childhood?

(Were they just a dream? Were they just a dream?)

Have you woken, have you heard enough

Or are we finally in the wildwood?
