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 them on ice   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   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 them on ice   I swear I'd burn this city down   To show you the light      We're traveled like gypsies   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 till the bitter end   Condemned from the start   Ashamed of the way   The songs and the words own   (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 them on ice   I swear 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   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 (x2)      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 them on ice   I swear I'd burn this city down   To show you the light
