Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And while the city sleeps, I won't weep
Because I couldn't keep my boyfriend
And the summer's end is here again
And the leaves are golden
Under the grand silver birch tree
[Verse 2]
While we're thinking about the people we meet, dancing feet
Wasters on the cover of a magazine
People you've kissed, people you lust
And the ones that you might not
Ever remember what's the use
[Verse 3]
I'm not what I was last summer
Not who I was in the spring
Tell me, tell me, tell me when will you learn
We love it and we leave it and we watch it burn
Damn these wild young hearts
Damn these wild young hearts
[Verse 4]
Now that the city's awake, my heart aches
Oh, what a silly mistake it seems I've made
You left your keys under my bed
Left a thumping in my head
I would say sorry, what's the use
[Verse 5]
'Cause I'm not what I was last September
And I don't wear the same robes in May
I know we shouldn't do it but we do it anyway
We know we might regret it but it seemed ok
Damn this wild young heart
Damn this wild young heart
Damn this wild young heart
[Verse 6]
If now is forever, then what's to prove
'Cause it won't be the same next summer
And I guess I'll see you in the spring
Somebody tell me, tell me, tell me when will I learn
I love it and I leave it and I watch it burn
Damn this wild young heart
I told you, damn this wild young heart
Damn this wild young
[Verse 7]
Tell me, tell me, tell me when will I learn
Damn this wild young heart
