Lyrics
[Chorus]
Are we growin' up or just goin' down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
[Verse 1]
We're the therapists pumpin' through your speakers
Deliverin' just what you need
We're well-read and poised
We're the best boys
[Verse 2]
We're the chemists who found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say
Don't believe a word
[PreChorus]
'Cause I'll keep singin' this lie
If you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singin' this lie
I'll keep singin' this lie
[Chorus]
Are we growin' up or just goin' down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
[Verse 3]
We travel like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
[Verse 4]
We're the lifers, here till the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way the songs and the words own
The beatin' of our hearts
[PreChorus]
'Cause I'll keep singin' this lie
I'll keep singin' this lie
[Chorus]
Are we growin' up or just goin' down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
[Verse 5]
And there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's another around to have us bend your trust
Got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Are we growin' up or just goin' down?
Are we growin' up or just goin' down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
