Lord Huron - We Went Wild lyrics

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
Though 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 me 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, well
They 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 we went wild
We went wild we went wild

We went wild we went wild
We went wild we went wild
We went wild
