Once I Was Wild lyrics

Once I was wild, we were naked in the window Under street lights Crack the glass to let the smoke out It can't hurt him, if he don't know Wrapped in blankets Rain is falling Feeling taller than a pretty tall building Hands in pockets going nowhere Just Walking Was an ex pat With an ex that Had finally stop calling my phone I was headed for the city I didn't want to be alone Youth is wasted the young Drink is wasted on the drunk Nothing's ever loud enough to properly drown the demons out It's a punishment to care About anything this much Nothing's ever loud enough Nothing's ever loud enough Once I was wild Young and on drugs in New York city I felt so cool, like a cool song or a cool movie Till the end came flooding through me I was reckless I was detached I was feckless I was under attack Going nowhere One forward, two back Conflicted and addicted To dragging my knuckles through glass Unbearable, undatable, undefeatable, unforgivable, undeniable, unreliable All together unintelligible I was innocent I was stupid But I was me Youth is wasted on the young Drink is wasted on the drunk Nothing's ever loud enough to properly drown the demons out It's a punishment to care About anything this much Nothing's ever loud enough Nothing's ever loud enough At the top Of it all I was worse than I really expected All the pride before the fall I was a wild man undirected I couldn't speak I couldn't sleep I thought about death And I felt a bit free But I had to come home I had to come down I just didn't know when and I didn't know how Youth is wasted on the young Drink is wasted on the drunk Nothing's ever loud enough to properly drown the demons out It's a punishment to care About anything this much Nothing's ever loud enough Nothing's ever loud enough Youth is wasted on the young Drink is wasted on the drunk Nothing's ever loud enough to properly drown the demons out It's a punishment to care About anything this much Nothing's ever loud enough Nothing's ever loud enough
