Wilder Days
There's a picture of you standing next to me in our wilder days With abilities to circumvent anything that got in our way We had a drive that fell in stark relief to the impending pain Young and full of big beliefs that life could not sustain Sometimes I see your face in my memories With a look so full of glory that the gods grew weak at the knees Bounding through the doors of life's exalting reveries Driving through the night on rain-soaked streets The way it used to be In our wilder days there was trouble to be made There was pie to cut and cake to throw and muddy creeks to wade There was scarcely any thought gave to if I left or stayed In my wilder days Now the days are getting shorter and the years are counting down As the sun gets dizzy watching us as we go spinning around I find it best to laugh at the absurdity of life above the ground There's no comfort in survival but it's still the best option that I've found In our wilder days we were invincible and unafraid Of cracks in the concrete and steel that we were made of Gravity defied, we had the gods on our side Death to cheat below our feet and yet we seldom died In our wilder days we were invincible and unafraid SongtexteOf cracks in the concrete and steel that we were made of Gravity defied, we had the gods on our side Death to cheat below our feet and yet we seldom died In our wilder days we were invincible and unafraid Of cracks in the concrete and steel that we were made of Gravity defied, we had the gods on our side Death to cheat below our feet and yet we seldom died We could so delight in the burning candlelight that would not fade In our wilder days Aus Songtexte Mania
