We Went Wild is a song about a 13-day romance, in which the narrator expresses how lost he was in love. Unfortunately, the passion of this romance was ultimately unsustainable, and the narrator is now lamenting his foolishness and the loss of his lover.
[Verse 1]
She was wise beyond all others
On the island, she was my lover
We went wild and it almost killed me, I was blind
But for thirteen days of sun and her, I thought I'd never die
I couldn't get tired, though I should have been sleeping
For the first time, I wasn't hard of feeling
And at night, while the others were dreaming, we went wild
We'd go running through the temples and the forests of the isle
For thirteen of those sleepless nights I thought I'd never die
[Verse 2]
I don't know what the hell it was that gave me so much life
On the island, we went wild; we never closed our eyes
Don't know where she's gone or what she's done to who since then
She loved me right into the ground; I won't go wild again
I thought good times could last forever
Long nights and perfect weather
I tried to never say never, but I was wrong
The wildness of those days, well, they couldn't last for long
I woke up on the beach one day and found that she had gone
The rains had come, there was no sun, I felt so deadly tired
After thirteen days of loving her, I felt like I could die
[Bridge]
We went wild
We went wild
We went wild
We went wild
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
We went wild
We went wild
We went wild
We went wild
We went wild
