Where the Wild Things Are Lyrics

Life sings a heavy song
I put my wolf suit on
And I howl all, all the night
I run around and lose, lose my mind
To where the wild things are
I go where the wild things are

I take a boat all year long
And there's monsters that are chasing me all day long
But I ain't afraid of where the wild things are
I go where the wild things are

Where the wild things are

Where the wild things are
I go where the wild things are

Where the wild things are

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is my most listened to song by Patrick Watson. I'm surprised there aren't more Comments.

I love the mood he creates here. This song is so mysterious. I put this track on my Halloween Mix. I wish this could of be in or on or associated with the Where the Wild Things Are Film.

I love the hook "I know where the wild things are"

Is this anyone else's favorite too?
