are we growing up or just going down?
it´s just a matter of time until we´re all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
cause i swear i´d burn this city down to show you the light

we´re the therapists pumping through your speakers
delivering just what you need
we´re well read and poised
we´re the best boys
we´re the chemists who´ve found the formula
to make your heart swell and burst
no matter what they say, don´t believe a word

cause i´ll keep singing this lie if you´ll keep believing it
i´ll keep singing this lie
i´ll keep singing this lie

are we growing up or just going down?
it´s just a matter of time until we´re all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
cause i swear i´d burn this city down to show you the light

we´re traveled like gypsies
only with worse luck and far less gold
we´re the kids you used to love
but then we grew old
we´re the lifers here till the bitter end
condemned from the start
ashamed of the way
the songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

cause i´ll keep singing this lie
i´ll keep singing this lie

are we growing up or just going down?
it´s just a matter of time until we´re all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
cause i swear i´d burn this city down to show you the light
there´s a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
and there´s another around to help us bend your trust
i´ve got a sunset in my veins
and i need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

the best part of "believe" is the "lie",
i hope you sing along and you steal a line
i need to keep you like this in my mind
so give in or just give up
