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
Before I run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday
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
You know, I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday
(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
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
I'll run away
I need to take a holiday
(Need to take a holiday)
Maybe, it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
(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
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

Did you know the stanza:
"All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight"

Martin can carry off the high notes perfectly, his voice is amazing like this song is. It's not one of those trashy songs nowadays, it's meaningful.

I love listening to this album and how when you listen to it all the way through, and then notice the tie at the end between Holiday and Great Escape, you realize how they didn't just put the songs in there, but they actually created a kind of love story.
