X Ambassadors - HEY CHILD Lyrics

I heard you got arrested in the street last night

You called me with a voice I didn't recognize

So you're numbin' 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 shinin' bright

Oh, hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Oh, oh



Back in the '06, sellin' weed to the freshman kids

You were the end of my aim whenever separate

And I know you've been hurtin', 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 shinin' bright, oh

Hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh



My brother's got a baby on the way now

I hope that you'll meet him some day

I hope he don't make the same mistakes we made

And when I look him in the eyes, I'll say



Hey child, hey child

You were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright, oh

Hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Oh, oh



Hey, hey child

Oh, oh

Hey, hey child

You're born wild

(We were born, we were born wild)

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Oh, oh
