I don't remember were we wild and young All that faded into memory I feel like somebody I don't know Are we really who we used to be Am I really who I was The lights will draw you in And the dark will bring you down And the night will break your heart But only if you're lucky now Waiting outside while you find your keys Like bags of trash in the blackening snow City of neon and toes that freeze We've got nothing and nowhere to go We've got nothing and nowhere And the lights will draw you in And the dark will take you down The night will break your heart But only if you're lucky now And if the lights will draw you in And the dark will take you down But love will mend your heart But only if you're lucky now I don't remember were we wild and young All that's faded into memory I feel like somebody I don't know Are we really who we used to be Am I really who I was
