The wild and the tame

What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too clo­se. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don’t want to tell you whe­re I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks whe­re no one can find me. I want to be with you.
