WHEN YOU ONCE WERE WILD

Bb: x1033x

tell me when you once were wild 
did you keep it in? all that you pretend? 
the evolution of your trial 
you keep saving face, oh you can't erase 
as sad as when you lost your child 
well we all repent in the face of it 
tell me when you once were wild 
was it different? 

[chorus] 
i was always shy i can't hold a candle to 
the one in your eyes they magnify it takes some time 
'til you don't recognize & no surprise 
it's always the blind leading the 
blind-sided by: tell me when you once were wild 

tell me how you reconciled 
the truth that bends around your closest friends 
your first & your last denial 
did they feel the same? it's a crying shame 
you've never walked a lonely mile 
but it came & went & came back again 
tell me when you once were wild 
was it different? 

[chorus] 

[outro] 
tell me when you once were wild...
