Natives letra

I'm like a cat in a cage
Locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son
A shameful prodigy too

I am the love of your life
Battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night
I stand there waiting for you

There is desire to fight
But I have nothing to prove
But with the crowd and some lights
I start to feel things move

Do you have something to hide?
Because I think that we all do
I am a child inside
Back up and give me some room

I'm just a bastard child
Don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time
Maybe I'm better off dead

You turned us loose in the night
I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives
Although we're dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home

Don't start to panic for me
Cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun
I burn up all that I choose

Up on the side of the field
I see a city with lights
I touch her face and I kneel
She tells me she's not alive

I am too nervous to run
The kids who scatter and hide
To reach and grab for someone
But end up buried alive

The world is waiting for me
A move that I rarely use
I start to feel my feet
They kick down walls as they move

I'm just a bastard child
Don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time
Maybe I'm better off dead

You turned us loose in the night
I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives
Although we're dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home

I'm just a bastard child
Don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time
Maybe I'm better off dead

You turned us loose in the night
I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives
Although we're dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
