Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year by Fall Out Boy Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
'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
[Chorus]
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
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
[Verse 2]
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 (words own) the beating of our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie
[Chorus]
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
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
[Post-Chorus]
And there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's 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
[Bridge: William Beckett, Patrick Stump]
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?
[Chorus]
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
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
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
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
'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
[Chorus]
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
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
