"Wild Love" by Passenger surrenders to an affection that burns, gallops, and howls beyond control. Love appears as wildfire, wild horse, wildflower, wind, sea, and wounded beast, each image carrying both beauty and danger. The repeated refusal to lose, let go, or walk away shows the pull between knowing this love may be a sin and needing it anyway. The wild beast that roars in pain mirrors the heart caught inside, unable and unwilling to escape.
Wild Love Lyrics by Passenger
Well this love is a wildfire
Burning in my heart
Raging like a fever in my soul
This love is a wild horse
She’s running through the dark
No one’s gonna tell her where to go
This love is a wildflower that grows
Out there in the snow
This I know
I can’t lose this now
So I’ll have to let it win
I can’t let this go
I have to let it in
I can’t take it slow
Though I know it is a sin
I can’t walk away
From this wild love I’m in
Well this love is a wild wind
It’s howling through the trees
Rattling the roof tops of this town
Yeah, this love is a wild sea
She’s breaking on the beach
She’s taken many a sailor down
Yeah, this love is a wild beast that roars
When it’s in pain
And I’m the same
I can’t lose this now
So I’ll have to let it win
I can’t let this go
I have to let it in
I can’t take it slow
Though I know it is a sin
I can’t walk away
From this wild love I’m in
I can’t lose this now
So I’ll have to let it win
I can’t let this go
I have to let it in
I can’t take it slow
Though I know it is a sin
I can’t walk away
From this wild love I’m in
