I Just Wanna Go Home

I remember when I was younger
I would wake up to the sounds of the shore
But ever since I moved from the coast
It seems that nothing feels that good anymore
I miss the smell of the ocean
Oh what I would do to get the hell out LA
This place is too overcrowded, baby
I keep bending but I’m ready to break
I Just Wanna Go Home
It’s been a while since I felt anything
It seems that happiness is right outta reach
I’m sick of all this frustration
Wont you get me out of here and back to the beach
I Just Wanna Go Home
I took a gamble on everything
Back when I was young
I was just looking for something else
Just looking for fun
I Just Wanna Go Home

Runaway

Let me tell you a story about a little friend of mine
Her name is Josie Carolina and she likes to spend her time
Just hanging out all day
She just likes to hang around and sleep
Smoke cigarettes and drink
Josie spends her summer days sunbathing in the yard
She likes to go out in the afternoon and max out credit cards
But then at night she sleeps
She sleeps right next to me when I’m at home
She hates to be alone
She’s a runaway, but she ran to me
She’s the prettiest thing, the type you’d see in your dreams
But when she comes a runnin’ I don’t feel no pain
It’s all good
Josie likes to hang her head outside of moving cars
She likes to stand up tall, act real tough,
and smoke on big cigars
But she’s all bark, no bite
No she don’t like to fight, she’s all talk
No she don’t walk the walk
She just runs away, but she ran to me
She’s the prettiest thing, the type you’d see in your dreams
But when she comes a runnin’ I don’t feel no pain
It’s all good
Let me tell you a story about a little friend of mine
Her name is Josie Carolina and she likes to spend her time
Just hanging out all day
She just likes to hang around and sleep
Yeah she's the one for me
She’s a runaway, but she ran to me
She’s the prettiest thing the type you’d see in your dreams
And when she comes a runnin’ I don’t feel no pain
Cause baby, baby, baby, you’re my novocain
And when you come around, no I don’t feel no pain
It’s all good

I wanna get wasted
So bad I can taste it, baby
I wanna get wasted
Want to forget all my problems
I don’t wanna solve them
I need a vacation
To try to find salvation, baby
I need medication
Wont you fill up my prescription?
I need a new addiction
I’ve been trying
Hard to keep my head straight
Won’t you brighten up my day?
Dr Sunshine, make me feel fine
Give me something
Anything to make me feel
Dr Sunshine, make me feel fine
Give me something
Anything to make me feel alive...

U R

Some people say happiness
Is something that can never be bought
But one day soon, know I promise you
I’ll buy you anything you could want
But you don’t want no fancy things
No sugar coated diamond rings
That I could not afford
But if I could I’d buy the store for you
And I wish I could make you feel
Like everything you ever loved was real
Like candy, god, and Christmas baby
Tell me do you want this, maybe?
So baby, won’t you talk to me?
Just tell me who U R
Just tell me what you want from me
Tell me everything that U R
I’ve got so so much to tell ya
My sweet sweet mademoisella
Don’t turn around, don’t walk away
Just hear me out, hear what I say
No you don’t like the way I dress
But darling daisy, know I do confess
You’re charming and you’re funny
I’m obnoxious and unfunny, but baby
So baby, won’t you talk to me?
Just tell me who U R
Just tell me what you want from me
Tell me everything that U R
I can’t stand it when you cry
It’s like a piece of me dies
And I can’t stand it when you lie
About how you’re feeling inside
I can’t stand to lose you
I can’t stand to lose you
I can’t stand to lose you
So tell me what you want
So baby, won’t you talk to me?
Just tell me who U R
Just tell me what you want from me
Tell me everything that U R

Broken
04:44

I first saw you fifteen years ago
Down at the restaurant
The one you owned on the west side of town
And I knew I loved you
We met in December, you moved in by spring
I can’t describe the type of joy you would bring
I never thought I’d have to live without you
You got sick about three years ago
They found some cancer in your bones
The doctors said that you’d soon die
They gave you six months
But you proved them wrong
I soon realized it wouldn’t be long
Until the day I’d have to live without you
We cannot change
What is already broken
I can’t just wait around
On a dream that wont come true
We cannot change
What is already spoken
And if I could, then you know I would
I would trade it all, for another night with you
I lost you about six months ago
My god it feels like forever
The days go by I just feel more alone
But I’m getting by, and I’m moving on
But I still hear your voice in every song
Because you are a part of me that will never die
We cannot change
What is already broken
I can’t just wait around
On a dream that wont come true
We cannot change
What is already spoken
And if I could, then you know I would
I would trade it all, for another night with you

Me And The Moon
03:33

I can’t stand the way I act sometimes
Some days I feel like I am just a child
Always running ‘round and trying to place the blame
On everyone around me, but anyway
I know that I made you cry
I swear I’m sorry, swear I apologize
I don’t understand myself sometimes
It seems that I keep trying hard to find
A reason just to up and runaway
But that don’t mean a thing tonight though, anyway
I know that I made you cry
I swear I’m sorry, swear I apologize
I wish I could hear you
Or even just be near you
Will you come home because I don’t know
Just what I should do
Because every single morning
I’ve been waking up so lonely
You’re not home I’m on my own
Just me and the moon, it’s so true
So when you hear my name
I hope that you still smile
Hope you still feel the same
And you know that I tried
But that don’t mean a thing
At the end of the day, but anyway
I know that I made you cry
I swear I’m sorry, swear I apologize
I wish I could hear you
Or even just be near you
Will you come home because I don’t know
Just what I should do
Because every single morning
I’ve been waking up so lonely
You’re not home I’m on my own
Just me and the moon, it’s so true
That don’t mean a thing to me though, anyway
I know that I made you cry
I swear I’m sorry, swear I apologize
I wish I could hear you
Or even just be near you
Will you come home because I don’t know
Just what I should do
Because every single morning
I’ve been waking up so lonely
You’re not home I’m on my own
Just me and the moon, it’s so true
I know that I made you cry
I swear I’m sorry, swear I apologize

Feel Good
02:02

I woke up this morning
shaking, sunburnt, and sober
All that Canadian whiskey
has got me feeling hungover
I don’t remember, yeah I don’t remember
We were getting high
And drinking liquor on liquor
And rocking denim on denim
Swear there was nobody sicker
But it was Friday, so I’mma do it my way
I don’t feel nothing
And I wanna feel something
Wanna feel good
So lets go get some smokes and drinks
And hit the casino
And maybe we can hit it big
Yeah we’ll be swimming in c-notes
Maybe one day, we’ll laugh about this someday
I don’t feel nothing
And I wanna feel something
Wanna feel good
These days we don’t sleep until the sunrise
Can’t you see this lonely look in our eyes?
I guess what I’ve been trying to say
Is I can’t last another day
Counting up our dollars
Because we spent all our money
Last night on cheap wine and OG
Oh yeah, you think that shit’s funny?
Well now it’s monday
We gotta get to Sunday
But I don't got nothing
And I wanna feel something
Wanna feel good

Smile For Me

Honey won’t you stay for a while
And lay right here with me for a bit
Because I’m so tired of trying to fight
But I promised you that I’d never quit
I don’t know why I can’t just stay alive
These past few weeks I’ve gotten so weak
I just wish I could find the strength to survive
But don’t you dare feel sorry for me
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
Filled up with tears for me
Know that I’m right there I’m right beside you
Even when you sleep
Honey don’t you cry for me
Know that I went happily
Because I’m right here I’m right beside you
I can hear you sing
Honey don’t you cry for me
Wont you try to smile for me, my dear
I wish I could stay for a while
This thing just keeps on beating me down
But I think that I did pretty good, right?
For somebody that they counted out
I don’t know why, just why I gotta die
So young and so painfully
I just wish I could find the strength to survive
But right now it’s a struggle to breathe
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
Filled up with tears for me
Know that I’m right there I’m right beside you
Even when you sleep
Honey don’t you cry for me
Know that I went happily
Because I’m right here I’m right beside you
I can hear you sing
Honey don’t you cry for me
Wont you try to smile for me, my dear
And I know your heart aches but son I swear
I promise all your pain will soon heal in time
And if the night comes and I should go
I promise one day everything will be fine
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
Filled up with tears for me
Know that I’m right there I’m right beside you
Even when you sleep
Honey don’t you cry for me
Know that I went happily
Because I’m right here I’m right beside you
I can hear you sing
Honey don’t you cry for me
Wont you try to smile for me, my dear

shows, The Wild Young Hearts went on a sudden hiatus shortly after the release of their third album HOODLUMS.
Fast forward to late 2021, The Wild Young Hearts are back for the first time in nearly five years with the release of the newest single, "Valley Boys".
