Are we growing up, or just going down?
The kids you used to love but then we grew old
Are we growing up, or just going down?
We'll travel like gypsies only with worse luck and far less gold
Well read and poised, we're the best boys
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light
I need to keep you like this in my mind
No matter what they say, don't believe a word
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
We're the lifers here 'til the bitter end condemned from the start
The best part of believe is the lie
Delivering just what you need
There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
So give in or just give up
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
Are we growing up, or just going down?
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
The best part of believe is the lie
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie
I hope you sing along and steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
And there's another around to help us bend your trust
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
Got a sunset in my veins
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
To make your heart swell and burst
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
So give in or just give up
Ashamed of the way the songs and the words own
The beating of our hearts
Are we growing up, or just going down?
I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie
We're the chemists who've found the formula
