If we got to know each other well enough, we might end up as friends
I get along with everyone but recently I'm spent
I'm most happy when I'm dreaming of success
And all my good friends call me wilderness

Well every book I read gives different reasons to be free
And I'm being asked to say goodbye to the man I'll never be
I'm actually fine with how things are turning out, I guess
And all my good friends call me wilderness

I plan to be the guy who when he drinks, he disappoints
They'll say 'you'll kill yourself before you know it'
Well, isn't that the point? To make it all the more easier to digest?
And all my good friends call me wilderness

And I'm waiting for the day I can explain myself to you
But just because it's honest, well that doesn't make it true
And that's the answer to the questions we have left
And all my good friends call me wilderness

Well I found all my answers in a plan to be a star
To shine alone in the sunrise towards which I lend no part
I'm not invited, but I hope they're having guests
And all my good friends call me wilderness
