Are we growing up, or just going 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 the 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, put 'em on ice.
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

We're traveled like gypsie,
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 '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, put 'em on ice.
'Cause I swear I'd burn the 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 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 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?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out.
Take our tears, put 'em on ice.
