"Wild Eyes" lyrics

Tom Petty & Mudcrutch Lyrics

"Wild Eyes"
(2026 Mix)

You used to look wild eyed
Back when there was mystery in your smile
You seem so hungry, so deprived
No, you played a soul slide
Way you made it seem so do or die
You used to try to live your live so high

And that don't make no difference now
Cause you're hard to recognize
Without those wild, wild eyes
Now you just look empty inside

Remember when you used to say
Only time can better wait
Now you just sit and contemplate
What is gone and what remains
And wonder if it's still the same
You wonder if it was still the same inside

I guess you had a long ride
And maybe you're helpless and confined
In case you had to leave so much behind
And you used to look wild eyed
Back when there was mystery in your smile
You seem so hungry and deprived

And that don't make no difference now
Cause you're hard to recognize
Without those wild, wild eyes
Now you just look empty inside

And that don't make no difference now
Cause you're hard to recognize
Without those wild, wild eyes
Now you just look empty inside
Yeah, now you just look empty inside
