LYRICS
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 ya
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 were the yin to 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 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 shining bright
Oh
Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

[@raylopez7939]

This song is definitely about Noah. He got arrested and I haven't seen him with the band since. I've been there from the beginning and in my stupid interpretation he is calling out to him but not in an obvious way until you get to the neon lights usually associated with bars and Sam being called at night and he couldn't recognize Noah's voice because he was arrested and drunk. I feel this so much and know the results of addiction. In the end that's why I believe he is crying because they grew up best friends and to see him in the pain he is in when he never knew is powerful but assuring him he will always be there for his friend. Again my stupid interpretation but had to post it. Love and peace to all

Ok, this one hit me so hard. I used to had a very good friend since high school, and one day he didn't talk to me anymore. Don't know why, but it ended up like this. It was so hard, but I did understood that I had to move on, so that's what I did. But sometimes I miss him so much, and I wonder what's going on with his life. I really hope he's fine and happy. I hope he knows he can talk to me whenever he wants if he needs something. I'll be there for him even although he didn't was here for me.

Nearly broke down. My wife and I are dealing with our son who once made the right choices as young child, smart boy, thought he'd have a bright future. We never put any unnecessary pressure on him. We told him nearly every day you make something of yourself by making the right choices and learning by your mistakes. However, as the years went and now a late teen, he's easily influenced and we have dealt with all the issues from selling, to leaving days on end to the point we think he's either dead or just gone. In today's messed up society, I stumble upon this song and this group and I just feel sometimes there is hope that one day our son will just flip a switch and realize that he has more to offer and more to live for and that his parents love very much and only wanted the best for him. Just want him back so he can hear this. Just once.
