Days when
We'd fight, we'd fight 'til I would give in
Yeah, perfect disasters
We were reaching, reaching for the rafters

And on most of the days we were searching for ways
To get up and get out of the town that we were raised, yeah, Cause we were done
I remember, we were sleeping in cars
We were searching for OZ
We were burning cigars
With white plastics tips 'til we saw the sun
And we said crazy things like

I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die

Lights down
And we drive and we're drivin' just to get out
Yeah, perfect disasters
Yeah we were swinging, swinging from the rafters

Hey, we were dancing in cars
We were looking for ours
We were naming the stars
After people we knew 'til we had to go
And we were saying things like

I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die

Nights when we kept dancing
Changing all our plans and
Making every day a holiday
Feel the years start burning
City lights they're turning
Something 'bout this feels the same

Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change

You and me were kids

Earlier this week we announced Bebe Rexha as your host for the 2016 MTV EMA, and today we've just announced another performer to the line up...OneRepublic!

Making their EMA performance debut, the multi-platinum selling, Ryan Tedder-fronted band will take to the stage at the Ahoy Rotterdam on Sunday 6th November.

Having recently just dropped their fourth studio album Oh My My, with stand out singles 'Wherever I Go' and 'Kids', the EMA veterans, who were first nominated back in 2008, return with a nomination for Best World Stage and will join the previously announced performers Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes, DNCE, Lukas Graham and Zara Larsson.

Life is good.

See you in Rotterdam @MTV!! #MTVEMA 2016, Nov 6th at 9pm CET. Cannot wait. pic.twitter.com/s0D3pj3AMz
