Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Do you remember dreaming?

Do you remember home?

Do you remember feeling

Like you were not alone?


When a minute was forever

And you had a hand to hold

Tell me you remember

And that you?ll never let go


We?re all somebody?s baby, we?re all somebody?s child

We?re all some kinda crazy, we?re all some kinda wise

We?re all full of amazing, we?re all flirting with lies

We?re all somebody?s heartache, somebody?s can?t wait, somebody?s why

We?re all somebody?s baby, we?re all somebody?s child


Do you remember running?

Do you remember wild?

Do you remember wanting

Just a little more light?


And what about that falling

For the very first time?

Do you remember second chances

After crossing that line?


Somebody?s baby child

Somebody?s child
