Wild Young Hearts
Noisettes Lyrics

And while the city sleeps
As the city is quiet at night,

I won't weep because I didn't keep
I won't be sad because I didn't hold onto

My boyfriend and the summer's end, is here again
My boyfriend and the end of summer have arrived once more

And the leaves are golden
The leaves have turned yellow

Under the grand silver birch tree
Beneath the majestic silver birch tree

While we're thinking 'bout the people we meet
As we reflect on the people we encountered

Dancing feet, wasters on the cover of a magazine
People's dancing feet, as well as those who waste their lives being featured on the cover of a magazine

People you've kissed, people you lust
People you've kissed, those you're attracted to

And the one's that you might not
As well as those you may not remember

Ever remember what's the use
What's the point of recalling what you can't remember?

I'm not what I was last summer
I'm not the same person I was last summer

Not who I was in the spring
Nor who I was in the spring

Tell me, tell me, tell me when will we learn
When will we gain knowledge?

We love it and we leave it and we watch it burn
We enjoy it before abandoning it and watching it perish

Damn these wild young hearts
Our uncontrollable youth and passion are frustrating

Now that the city's awake, my heart aches
Now that the city is bustling, my heart is hurting

Oh what a silly mistake it seems I've made
It appears that I've made a foolish error

You left your keys under my bed
You forgot your keys under my bed

Left a thumpin' in my head
And caused my heart to beat faster

I would say sorry, what's the use
Although I would apologize, it wouldn't be helpful

Cause, I'm not what I was last September
Because I'm not the same person as I was last September

And I don't wear the same robes in May
And I don't dress the same way in May

We know we shouldn't do it, but we do it anyway
We're aware that we shouldn't engage in it, yet we still do

We know we might regret it but it seemed OK
We realize we may come to regret it, but it seemed fine at the time

If now is forever then what's to prove
If the present is lasting, then what's the point of justification?

Cause it won't be the same next summer
Because next summer will not be the same

And I guess I'll see you in the spring
And I presume I will encounter you in the spring

Somebody tell me, tell me, tell me, when will I learn
When will I become aware and obtain knowledge?

I love it and I leave it and I watch it burn
I adore it before departing and observing its downfall

Damn this wild young heart
My uncontrollable youth and passion are frustrating

I told you damn this wild young heart
I've previously expressed dissatisfaction with my uncontrollable youth and passion

Tell me, tell me, tell me when will I learn
When will I gain knowledge?

Damn this wild young heart
My uncontrollable youth and passion are frustrating
