Backstory:
I think Sam had the hook, Younger and Wiser, and brought in the melody. The three of us tapped into our late teen years and came up with this song.
Lyrics:
Younger and Wiser
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/Sam Gyllenhaal (BMI)/Sarah Spencer (ASCAP)
It was always Friday night somewhere
Curfew’s made to be broken
Fake IDs, a case of cheap beer
Roll up something and we’ll smoke it
We could learn a thing or two
From 17 me and you
When we didn't know better
Lived pedal to the medal on fire
No fear of high flying
Live wires, every night we burned brighter
Every double dare was always worth the risk,
We had nothing to lose and everything to give
Gasoline looking for a lighter
Back when we were younger and wiser
Backseat Romeos and Juliets
Fogging up all the windows
First time feeling, foolish kids,
Too damn smart to just take it slow
Some mem’ries you don’t outgrow
Oh it wasn’t so long ago
Chorus
All made perfect sense back then
I could use more of who I was back when
