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, dont 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 
i's just a matter of time until we're found out 
take our tears and put them on ice 
i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light 
we'll travel like gypsies 
only with the worse luck and far less gold 
we're the kids you used to love 
but then we grew old 
we're the lifers here til 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 
i'd burn this city down to show you the light 
there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up 
and 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 
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 
are we growing up or just going down 
are we growing up or just going down 
its just a matter of time until we're all found out 
take our tears and put them on ice 
i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light]
