Lyrics
WHEN THE WORLD WAS SWEET
AND LAY AT OUR FEET
YOU WERE FREE
AND YOU CHOSE TO RUN WITH THE WILD MEN
AND YOU DREW ME IN WITH A SAD GIRL GRIN
THOUGH I KNEW YOU LOVED MORE THAN ONE
WE WERE WILD THEN
THE NIGHTS WERE LONG AND FRIENDLY
AND THEY SHELTERED US A WHILE
WE LIVED OUR EVER AFTER THEN AND THERE
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO MOVE YOU
AND I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO SMILE
THE MUSIC OF OUR LAUGHTER FILLED THE AIR
AND HOPE WAS EVERYWHERE
THEN YOU BROKE OUR SPELL
AND IT HURT LIKE HELL
BUT THE PAIN DIDN'T LAST SO LONG
WE WERE YOUNG THEN
NOW MY MIND RUNS FREE OVER YOU AND ME
AND IT SOARS LIKE A LONELY SONG
WE WERE WILD THEN
