The Wilder Mile

Guess we weren’t born to be lovers
Maybe in another time
It might be silly but we know, know, know
We’re down but we’re not out
Part with the ornery people
Bleachers on another side
Drunks in the think tanks go, go, go
We’ll drown before we’re out

We’ll be the people staring back at the sun
Everyone, everyone
We’ll be the people living while we’re young
Everyone, everyone

Guess we were born for each other
Here to make the other cry
And when the empty eyes show, show, show
We’ll tie them up inside
So give me more than a reason
Reaching for some other side
I fake the widest smile so, so, so
They came to pick me up

We’ll be the people staring back at the sun
Everyone, everyone
We’ll be the people living while we’re young
Everyone, everyone

Head to the wilder mile
Say “this is never over”
Freewheelin’ grown up child
High as the moon is sober

We’ll be the people staring back at the sun
Everyone, everyone
We’ll be the people living while we’re young
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
