We Were Wild (versión 2)

Verse

Fireflies cut paths across the field

Creek water cool where the current yields

Sixteen and we don't know how to end it

Every summer's got a different shape of heaven

We'd drive past towns that still slept

Radio static turning into our own names

Barefoot on the dashboard, windows down at midnight

Chasing every spark till it turns to flame

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up your spine?

Every ending is just a door to something new

Something's calling out of thin air, and I'm ready for it

Hold me in the middle so we don't lose our way

I know the night's gonna swallow us whole if we're brave enough

Chorus

We were wild, we were wild

Riding past every light that says no more

Painting stars on a dashboard with fingers moving through time

Every mile that gets smaller turns into gold on the floor

Nobody taught me how to say goodbye

So I just kept running till the highway ran out of sky

Verse

Counted up the exit signs in chalk on my bedroom wall

Packed a backpack full of everything that could possibly fall apart

Momma cried behind a closed door while we danced down the driveway one last time

Said the whole world was ours for the taking, just this once, before reality got in the way

We left at midnight like we owned every star

Left foot on the gas pedal, heart wide open like an arrow

Radio static turning into our own names

Creek water cool where the current yields

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up your spine?

Every ending is just a door to something new

Something's calling out of thin air, and I'm ready for it

Hold me in the middle so we don't lose our way

I know the night's gonna swallow us whole if we're brave enough

Chorus

We were wild, we were wild

Riding past every light that says no more

Painting stars on a dashboard with fingers moving through time

Every mile that gets smaller turns into gold on the floor

Nobody taught me how to say goodbye

So I just kept running till the highway ran out of sky

Bridge

Twenty years later, I drive these roads alone

Windows rolled down but the silence is a different kind of home

I left my heart where the headlights used to bend

Every exit's a door that still hasn't ended

And even now I can taste it on the wind

That fire we never learned to end

So let it burn, let it climb

Let the whole horizon catch me at the height

Chorus

We were wild, we were wild

Riding past every light that says no more

Painting stars on a dashboard with fingers moving through time

Every mile that gets smaller turns into gold on the floor

Nobody taught me how to say goodbye

So I just kept running till the highway ran out of sky
