lyrics

We were strangers
Walking hand in hand upon the beaches
Drenched in salt and sand
Golden brown from the summer sun
That burned and bit our skin

I remember
I remember we were wild

We were family connected by a sticky web
Of ugly stories that made us hang our heads
We learn to dress ourselves in the clothing that we made

I remember
I remember we were wild

I see fragments of your face
Behind the sunglasses and lipstick
Driving fast down to the docks
To watch your lover from afar
While we drink milkshakes in the back seat of the car

I remember
I remember we were lonely
I remember

So we grew Into the wildlings of the North
We went out across the land
Every woman, every man
Trying to understand a map we’d never seen

I remember
I remember
We were lost

I remember
I remember
We were lost

I remember
I remember
