Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year (Alternate Version)

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

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 this city down to show you the light

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]

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 beliеve a word

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep bеlieving it

And I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

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 this city down to show you the light

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]

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 'til 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

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

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 this city down to show you the light

[Post-Chorus: Patrick Stump]

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: Patrick Stump]

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 this city down to show you the light
