Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Without shame
Two outfits then to my name
You'd end up in one when you'd stay
We had nowhere to go
And every desire for going there
I heard once
It's the comforts that make us feel numb
We'd go out with no way to get home
And we'd sleep on somebody's floor
And wake up feeling like a millionaire
[PreChorus]
Wish I'd known it was just our turn, being blamed for a world we had no power in (We just got by)
But we tried
You and I had nothing to show, but the best of the world in the palm of our hands (We didn't know anything)
[Chorus]
And darling, I haven't felt it since then
I don't know how the feeling ended
But I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done
[Verse 2]
One time we would want for nothing
One time we had it all, love
We knew what our love was worth
When we had nothing
Now we're always missing something
I miss when
I miss when we did not need much
[Verse 3]
And oh, if the car ran, the car was enough
If the sun shone on us, it's a plus
And the tank was
Always filled up
Only enough for our getting there
[PreChorus]
(And you flew away) That first car was like wings on an angel
Before the whole wide world got too thin
(From me then) I swear goodwill kept up the engine
You were steering my heart like a wheel in your hands (Turn back)
[Chorus]
And, darling, I haven't felt it since then
I don't know how the feeling ended
But I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done
[Bridge]
Why did we ever run
Before our chance was gone?
Why did we ever run
Before our chance was gone?
[Outro]
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
