The Experience: "But we're less than lovers and more than friends, and it's just killing
me”. Wild takes us back to that awkward moment at the
beginning of a relationship when each is trying to get to know the other more
deeply. Made even more awkward when one of the two is still in love with their
ex.
Music video: In the video we follow Catherine through her first date with a new man who invited her out to a Cold Play concert and dinner yet keeps walking away from her to answer calls and texts from his ex-girlfriend. She likes him a lot, but just wants him to forget about the past and invest in the them of the present.
The Meaning of Wild: This
song is a true story from Catherine’s life. After that
date at the Cold Play concert she came home and wrote this song. Leaving behind
an old love hurts, but sometimes we must close the doors to the
past and give the new person in our lives the full attention they deserve. Both
people deserve to have the full focus of the other so that there aren’t
situations where you are “less than lovers and more than friends, and
it's just killing me”.
Ask yourself: Does this kind of honest clarity exist in your relationships?Album: Talk of this Town (2018)
LYRICS:
It
was a Coldplay concert on a Thursday night
You
had a spare ticket
'Cause
your girlfriend cheated and broke your heart
And
you took it hard
I
knew that it was far too soon to call it a date
But
you took my hand and I swear something changed
‘Cause
I felt the spark
But
she still had your heart
And
I wish that I could fix you
‘Cause
she’s playing with your head
And
I wish that I could kiss you
But
we’re less than lovers and more than friends
And
it’s just killing me
It
was a Coldplay concert on a Thursday night
40,000
people with their hands in the sky
Standing
by your side, I should have been singing
But
wishing you were mine was all that I was thinking
But
I knew you wanted her when you looked in my eyes
And
you almost kissed me underneath the lights
And
it should be me, stuck on your mind, taking your time
It
should be me, stealing your heart, driving you wild (wild)
Every
night we talk on the phone ‘til it’s far too late
But
she always comes up in the conversation
I
shouldn’t care, but you’re only halfway here
You
say you’re over her, but you’re lying to yourself
‘Cause
you’re looking in my eyes but you’re somewhere else
If
you could just move on
I
could be the one you want
And
I wish that I could fix you
‘Cause
she’s playing with your head
And
I wish that I could kiss you
But
we’re less than lovers and more than friends
And
it’s just killing me
It
was a Coldplay concert on a Thursday night
40,000
people with their hands in the sky
Standing
by your side, I should have been singing
But
wishing you were mine was all that I was thinking
But
I knew you wanted her when you looked in my eyes
And
you almost kissed me underneath the lights
And
it should be me, stuck on your mind, taking your time
It
should be me, stealing your heart, driving you wild
‘Cause
a girl like that don’t deserve your love
And
I know you know that it should be us
So
if you’re giving your love to somebody
Well
it should be me, stuck on your mind, taking your time
It should
be me, stealing your heart, driving you wild
It
was a Coldplay concert on a Thursday night
40,000
people with their hands in the sky
Standing
by your side, I should have been singing
But
wishing you were mine was all that I was thinking
But
I knew you wanted her when you looked in my eyes
And
you almost kissed me underneath the lights
And
it should be me, stuck on your mind, taking your time
It
should be me, stealing your heart, driving you wild
Wild,
wild
