You smell like cigarettes and might very well kill me
But I’ve got a thirst for people who thrill me
So I’ll dive down the rabbit hole and I’ll let my arms flail
We’ll stomp through the mud and I’ll stop chasing my tail
See I’ve been trying to do better for the last little while
To be a good friend and to laugh when I smile
To laugh when I smile
I’m gonna laugh when I smile
So when the hangover ends I’m gonna fill up my lungs
I’m gonna breath you in deeply ‘cause I’m still young
‘Cause I’m still young
And anytime that we drink we drink like we wanna die
But it’s alright ‘cause at least I’m not scared of life
And I’m fine, I’m alive, I’m not scared of life
I’m fine, I’m alive, I’m gonna laugh when I smile
So we’ll piss away the hours as we flick through the stations
We’ll break at the bends in simple conversations
And when the night ends I know that you’ll be there
With that mischevious grin and with shit in your hair
See I’m still trying to do better any way that I can
To be a good friend and to be a better man
To be a better man
But I’m still me I am
So when the hangover ends I’m gonna fill up my lungs
I’m gonna breath you in deeply ‘cause I’m still young
‘Cause I’m still young
And anytime that we drink we drink like we wanna die
But it’s alright ‘cause at least I’m not scared of life
And I’m fine, I’m alive, I’m not scared of life
I’m fine, I’m alive, I’m gonna laugh when I smile
And with time
I’ve come to realise
The shit that I’ve been scared of
Only visits when I try
Too hard to read your mind
Too afraid of whats inside
All the times when I just smile
I’ll probably laugh in a little while
And anytime that we drink we drink like we wanna die
But it’s alright ‘cause at least I’m not scared of life
And I’m fine, I’m alive, I’m not scared of life
I’m fine, I’m alive, I’m gonna laugh when I smile
The rains crash across my windowsill
To flush the scent of you that lingers still
With feigned disinterest I will shy away
‘Cause I’ll let you down
Idle feet forget the path behind
Idle hands long for a touch sublime
Idle minds they long for wild eyes
Wild eyes
Wild eyes
Eyes of pride
That hide the fear behind
With a looming sense of twisting fate
Thoughts will wander towards her smiling face
Leave me to my aimless reverie
‘Cause I’ll let you down
Idle feet forget the path behind
Idle hands long for a touch sublime
Idle minds they long for wild eyes
Wild eyes
Wild eyes
Idle Minds
They long for wild eyes
They long for wild eyes
They long for wild eyes
