This is us   In a photograph   On your bedroom wall   And this is us   In a parking lot   Under the stars      And I know it sounds cliched   And I know it's overused   But the things that happen in our lives   Are things that we can choose      So I'm dying to know what's in your head   There's got to be an answer   Besides the usual "I don't know"   There's something bigger out there      And this is us   In my living room   Trying to break my fall   And this is us    In a picture frame   Just trying to get out      And the way I saw this happen   Is nothing like I've seen   But even if I leave tonight   I know we lived the dream      Can you just explain the obvious   How we got this far   Cause I'm losing touch with everyone And who we really are      Go on   Go on   Go on   Go on      And this was us   This was us   This was us   You were us      You were us   The better half of us   The better half of everyone   The love within my dream   The love within the walls   The life that lived in me   And while you were every better half   You were the whole of me      This is us   In a photograph   On your bedroom wall   And this is us   In the parking lot   Under flaming stars      Go on   Go on my friend   Go on   You live on my friend
