Wasted Lyrics by Jukebox the Ghost

Cheers (Deluxe)

2022

[Verse 1: Ben Thornewill]
New York, you never sleep
But that night I swear that you were sleeping
The storm came, flooding the streets
My friends and I walked out on the expressway

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Thornewill]
Long before we cared about winning
Or worried about our parents getting older
Back when life was just beginning
Put our faces to the rain and the wind and the cold and we felt it

[Chorus: Ben Thornewill]
We were broke, we were brave
25 years in a hurricane
Ooh ooh ooh
We wеre wild, we werе wasted
Up all night we’d dream all day
Almost let you slip away
Ooh ooh ooh
We were wild, we were wasted
Running wild in the wasteland

[Verse 2: Andrew McMahon]
In the eye of the storm
Woke up to fireworks in the backyard
Someone playing a guitar
The sun danced along on the horizon

[Pre-Chorus: Andrew McMahon]
Long before we cared about winning
Or worried about if we were getting older
Back when life was just beginning
Put our faces to the rain and the wind and the cold and we felt it

[Chorus: Ben Thornewill and Andrew McMahon]
We were broke, we were brave
25 years in a hurricane
Ooh ooh ooh
We were wild, we were wasted
Up all night we’d dream all day
Almost let you slip away
Ooh ooh ooh
We were wild, we were wasted
Running wild in the wasteland
We were wild, we were wasted
Running wild in the wasteland

[Chorus: Ben Thornewill]
We were broke, we were brave
25 years in a hurricane
Ooh ooh ooh
We were wild, we were wasted
Up all night, we’d dream all day
Almost let you slip away
Ooh ooh ooh
We were wild, we were wasted
We were wild in the wasteland

[Outro: Ben Thornewill]
Running wild in the wasteland
Running wild in the wasteland
Running wild in the wasteland
