Verse one

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

Chorus

Before I run far away

 I need to take a holiday

 Maybe it's a fall from grace

 I gotta find a new place

holiday

 I'll set off on a new chase

 I gotta see a new face

 I need to take a holiday

Verse two

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

Chorus

Before I run far away

 I need to take a holiday

 Maybe it's a fall from grace

 I gotta find a new place

holiday

 I'll set off on a new chase

 I gotta see a new face

 I need to take a holiday

Verse three

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

Chorus

Before I run far away

 I need to take a holiday

 Maybe it's a fall from grace

 I gotta find a new place

holiday

 I'll 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

answers that we'll never find

They don't mean a thing tonight

, , , until end
