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
Wish I had known it was now just turnin´ (We just got by) Blamed for a world we had no power in (But we tried) You and I had nothin´ to show (We didn´t know) But the best of the world in the palm of our hands (Anything darllin´)
And darlin´, I haven´t felt it since then I don´t know how the feelin´ ended
But I know being reckless and young Is not how the damage gets done
One time we would want for nothin´ (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 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 gettin´ there
That first car was like wings on an angel (You flew away)
Before the whole wide world got too thin (From me then) I swear goodwill kept up the engine You were steerin´ my heart like a wheel in your hands (Turn back, darling)
And darlin´, I haven´t felt it since then I don´t know how the feelin´ ended But I know being reckless and young Is not how the damage gets done
All I needed was someone When the whole wide world felt young All I needed was someone When the whole wide world felt young
