Damage Gets Done

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 going 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 feeling like a millionaire
Wish I had 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
(anything darlin')
And darlin', I haven't felt it since then
I don't know how the feelin' ended
But I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done
One time we would want for nothin' (one time we had it all, love)
We knew what our love was worth (when we had nothing)
Now we're always missing something (I miss when)
I miss when we did not need much
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
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)
And darlin', I haven't felt it since then
I don't know how the feelin' ended
But I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
