we went wild

Lord Huron

She was wise beyond all others
On the island she was my lover
We went wild and it almost killed me
I was blind
But for thirteen days of sun and her
I thought I d never die

I couldn t get tired
although I should have been sleeping
For the first time I wasn t hard of feeling
And at night, while the others were dreaming
we went wild
We d go running through the temples
and the forests of the isle
For thirteen of those sleepless nights
I thought I d never die

I don t know what the hell it was
that gave us so much life
On the island we went wild
we never closed our eyes
Don t know where she s gone
or what she s done to who since then
She loved me right into the ground
I won t go wild again

I thought good times could last forever
Long nights and perfect weather
I tried to never say never, but I was wrong
The wildness of those days
couldn t last for long
I woke up on the beach one day
and found that she had gone
The rains had come, there was no sun
I felt so deadly tired
After thirteen days of loving her
I felt like I could die
We went wild
