X Ambassadors - HEY CHILD

i heard you got arrested in the street last night
called me with a voice I didn’t recognize
so you’re numbing the pain
stuck in your ways
since we were kids it was like this
but I will be there
I will be there for you

hey child
hey child
we were born wild
let your neon lights keep shining bright
oh!

back in 06’ selling weed to the freshman kids
you wee the yin yo my yang
never separate
and I know you been hurting
think you deserve it
how did it end up like this?
everything will be fine
if you just get through tonight

hey child
hey child
we were born wild
let your neon lights keep shining bright
oh!

my brother’s got a baby on the way now
I hope that you’ll meet him someday
and I hope he don’t make the same mistake we made
and when I look him in the eyes I’ll say

hey child
hey child
we were born wild
let your neon lights keep shining bright
hey child
hey child
we were born wild
let your neon lights keep shining bright
