Big Bad City

[Verse 1]
Maybe it was magic
Like that photograph that someone took of us
Something I imagined
'Cause when everyone said, "Run," I fell in love

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted the fall, the fame, the diamond ring
The way my blood would rush
Like when we would drink too much or crash on drugs
A worship of our luck

[Chorus]
We got Jesus on the dash, it all goes fast
When you're kids in the big, bad city
No time to crash, true romance
In the lights, they look so pretty
The world in our hands, make no plans
When you're so young and so shitty
Don't stand a chance, it never lasts
When you're kids in the big, bad city

[Verse 2]
It was so electric
Like a call to faith, how my pulse would race for you
I never expected
The withdrawal to make every color turn to blue

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted the flying-high look in your eye
The cash, the crown, the luxe
The mission's a suicide, at least we tried
But never got enough

[Chorus]
We got Jesus on the dash, it all goes fast
When you're kids in the big, bad city
No time to crash, true romance
In the lights, they look so pretty
The world in our hands, make no plans
When you're so young and so shitty
Don't stand a chance, it never lasts
When you're kids in the big, bad city

[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh
(In the big, bad city)
Ooh, ooh
(In the big, bad city)
Ooh, ooh (Oh)
(In the big, bad city)
Ooh, ooh (Oh)

[Chorus]
We got Jesus on the dash, it all goes fast
When you're kids in the big, bad city
No time to crash, true romance
In the lights, they look so pretty
The world in our hands, make no plans
When you're so young and so shitty
Don't stand a chance, it never lasts
When you're kids in the big, bad city

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh (Oh)
(In the big, bad city)
Ooh, ooh (Ooh, oh)
(In the big, bad city)
(Oh, oh, ooh)
