Wasted

[Verse 1: Ben Thornewill]

New York, you never sleep

But that night I swear that you were sleeping

The storm came, flooding the streets

My friends and I walked out on the expressway

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Thornewill]

Long before we cared about winning

Or worried about our parents getting older

Back when life was just beginning

Put our faces to the rain and the wind and the cold and we felt it

[Chorus: Ben Thornewill]

We were broke, we were brave

25 years in a hurricane

Ooh ooh ooh

We wеre wild, we werе wasted

Up all night we’d dream all day

Almost let you slip away

Ooh ooh ooh

We were wild, we were wasted

Running wild in the wasteland

[Verse 2: Andrew McMahon]

In the eye of the storm

Woke up to fireworks in the backyard

Someone playing a guitar

The sun danced along on the horizon

[Pre-Chorus: Andrew McMahon]

Long before we cared about winning

Or worried about if we were getting older

Back when life was just beginning

Put our faces to the rain and the wind and the cold and we felt it

[Chorus: Ben Thornewill and Andrew McMahon, Ben Thornewill]

We were broke, we were brave

25 years in a hurricane

Ooh ooh ooh

We were wild, we were wasted

Up all night we’d dream all day

Almost let you slip away

Ooh ooh ooh

We were wild, we were wasted

Running wild in the wasteland

We were wild, we were wasted

Running wild in the wasteland

[Chorus: Ben Thornewill]

We were broke, we were brave

25 years in a hurricane

Ooh ooh ooh

We were wild, we were wasted

Up all night, we’d dream all day

Almost let you slip away

Ooh ooh ooh

We were wild, we were wasted

We were wild in the wasteland

Running wild in the wasteland

[Outro: Ben Thornewill]

Running wild in the wasteland

Running wild in the wasteland

Running wild in the wasteland
