lyrics

I could never give you anything you didn't want.
You jumped into the rapids and stayed to haunt.
I became a person with a fragile little heart.
Dreams of doing anything fell apart.

Love, look how survival goes,
How we behave as the levee overflows.
Love, look at what we've become.
The flood's keeping us young at heart and wild dumb.

Going into shock at every rustle in the dark.
Interviewing animals for the ark.
Living with the fear of every step I didn't take.
Punishing the selfish ones on the make.

Love, look at our justice thrive,
How I'll take a man and devour him alive.
Love, look at what we've become.
The blood's keeping us young at heart and wild dumb.

In the end, there's nobody missing.
In the end, I don't know what I mean.
In the end, there's no one with wisdom or memory
Waiting there to intervene.

Love, look at how hard I've tried,
How I resisted, how it won't be denied.
Love, look at what we've become.
We will always be young at heart and wild dumb.
We will always be young at heart and wild dumb.
