[Intro] Rain on the glass, amber in the street A black umbrella keeps time with my feet [Verse 1] We found the gates behind the freight-yard wall Mud on our boots, posters peeling from the hall You wore a red wristband, I wore borrowed boots We laughed so hard we lost our cigarettes and truth [Pre-Chorus] The speakers shook the gravel loose Your hand found mine, I cut the noose [Chorus] I was wild that night, no name, no plan Paint on my cheek and your jacket in my hands I kissed you in the grass while the whole crowd swayed Then I ran toward the pit like a promise unafraid Wild that night, let the old world crack One black souvenir and a devil on my back If the rain erases everything I knew That night still burns when I look at you [Verse 2] Cheap beer breath and a silver festival cup Our friends made a circle, dared the moon to wake up The guitar player howled, the barriers gave way We spun through the chaos till the morning turned gray [Pre-Chorus] A torn-up flyer, a motel pen We swore this night would never end [Chorus] I was wild that night, no name, no plan Mud on my knees and your jacket in my hands I kissed you in the grass while the whole crowd swayed Then I ran toward the pit like a promise unafraid Wild that night, let the old world crack One black souvenir and a devil on my back A little white-letter dare from a stall by the stage A secret for the woman I became with age [Bridge] Now the photograph hangs where the hallway bends Wet pavement, bright glass, two reckless friends The girl in the frame is dressed in borrowed light But I know her heartbeat; I was there that night [Breakdown] No apologies No clean escape No saintly pose No perfect take [Final Chorus] I was wild that night, no name, no plan Beautiful trouble with the world in my hands I kissed you in the grass while the whole crowd swayed Then I ran toward the pit like a promise unafraid Wild that night, let the old world crack A devil-tail keepsake and a past I won’t take back When the rain hits the window and the streetlights bend I turn the page and become her again [Outro] Rain on the glass, the magazine lights fade Some nights get older, but they never get tame
