[Verse 1: Hozier, Hozier & Brandi Carlile]
Without shame, two outfits then to my name
You'd end up in one when you'd stay
We had nowhere to go and every desire for goin' there
I heard once, it's the comforts that make us feel numb
We'd go out with no way to get home
And we'd sleep on somebody's floor and wake up feelin' like a millionaire

[Pre-Chorus: Hozier & Brandi Carlile]
Wish I'd known it was just our turn (We just got by)
Being blamed for a world we had no power in (But we tried)
You and I had nothin' to show (We didn't know)
But the best of the world in the palm of our hands (Anythin', darlin')

[Chorus: Hozier & Brandi Carlile]
And darlin', I haven't felt it since then
I don't know how the feelin' ended
But I know bein' reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done

[Verse 2: Hozier, Brandi Carlile, Hozier & Brandi Carlile]
One time we would want for nothin' (One time, we had it all, love)
We knew what our love was worth (When we had nothin')
Now we're always missin' somethin' (I miss when)
I miss when we did not need much
[Verse 3: Brandi Carlile, Hozier & Brandi Carlile]
Oh, if the car ran, the car was enough
If the sun shone on us, it's a plus
And the tank was always filled up
Only enough for our gettin' there

[Pre-Chorus: Hozier & Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile]
That first car was like wings on an angel (You flew away)
Before the whole wide world got too thin (From me then)
I swear goodwill kept up the engine
You were steerin' my heart like a wheel in your hands (Turn back, darling)

[Chorus: Hozier & Brandi Carlile]
And darlin', I haven't felt it since then
I don't know how the feelin' ended
But I know bein' reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done

[Instrumental]

[Bridge: Hozier]
Why did we never run
Before our chance was gone?
Why did we never run
Before our chance was gone?
[Outro: Hozier & Brandi Carlile]
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
