Lets be wilderness in the dark she said, in the dark so I won’t be alone
Let it under your skin for a moment, for a moment
So we can feel torment
I have a very clear memory of a November night, being home and bored. I get a message from someone that's been on my mind a lot. She asks if I can come see her at work. She needs to see me.
I shouldn't, and I know I shouldn't. There's a big blinking sign that says "this way likes madness". It wasn't joking. We exploded our lives, and we are together and better for it. I'm within happiness.
But this song, the opening lines, make me think about that night, driving across the highway when I knew I shouldn't be, knowing I was going to make things so complicated, bit she was right. She needed to see me, and I needed to see her.
And we kissed, and we ran into the wilderness together, alone in the dark, and we learned what torment really was. Till we ran away home.
