Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm beaten, sometimes I'm broke
'Cause sometimes this city is nothing but smoke
Is there a secret? Is there a code?
We make it better 'cause I'm losin' hope
[Verse 2]
Tell me how to be in this world
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
Tell me how 'cause I believe in somethin'
I believe in us
[Verse 3]
After the wreckage, after the dust
I still hear their howling, I still feel the rush
Over the riots, oh, above all the noise
Through all the worry, I still hear your voice
[Verse 4]
So tell me how to be in this world
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
Tell me how 'cause I believe in somethin'
I believe in us
[Verse 5]
Tell me when the light goes down
That even in the dark, we will find a way out
Tell me now 'cause I believe in somethin'
I believe in us
[Verse 6]
We used to be kids livin' just for kicks
In cinema seats learnin' how to kiss
Runnin' through streets that we painted gold
We never believed we'd grow up like this
[Verse 7]
So tell me how to be in this world
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
Tell me how 'cause I believe in somethin'
I believe in us
[Verse 8]
Tell me when the light goes down
That even in the dark, we can find a way out
Tell me now 'cause I believe in somethin'
I believe in us
I believe in somethin'
I believe in us
[Verse 9]
Yeah, mmm, oh
