lyrics

I didn't know what to say
But I wanted everything
Alright

Who are you?
Who are we?
What is us?
And what are we supposed to be?
Alright

Held you close
Making love all night
Trying to outrun
The morning's light
Alright

I am nothing
But a wild-eyed child
Star-crossed lover
Of the sun
Alright

You are nothing
But a wild-eyed child
Twenty-three hours wiser
Than this one
Alright

You brought water to a thirsting soul
And now you are everything
Alright

One for you, one for me
One for you, one for me
One for you, one for me
If we lose count
We'll just have to see
Alright

Hold you close
Squeeze me tight
Chasing the last ray
Of red sunlight
Alright

I am nothing
But a wild-eyed child
Star-crossed lover
Of the sun
Alright

You are nothing
But a wild-eyed child
Twenty-three hours wiser
Than this one
Alright

Who are you?
Who are we?
What is us?
And what are we supposed to be?
Alright

Held you close
Making love all night
Trying to outrun
The morning's light
Alright

I am nothing
But a wild-eyed child
Star-crossed lover
Of the sun
Alright

You are nothing
But a wild-eyed child
Twenty-three hours wiser
Than this one
Alright
