Lyrics

This Is How We Live

[Verse 1]

Back from the road and I'm back at her door

I'm sleeping tonight, on another floor

'Cause when life's too fast, I take a longer road

I dust off my shoes and my dirty clothes

So you heard I'm back in town

Tellin' all your friends I'm making millions now

Got a car and a new house

Too bad baby, I'm leaving the city

No if, ands or maybes driving me crazy

[Chorus]

This is how we live

This is how we live

Ripped jeans and all

This is what we live

This is what we live for

[Verse 2]

Too weak to punch the clock and join the real world

So I wake up every night, forget what I'm told

'Cause I got all my friends with me

Yeah, an empty wallet doesn't seem half bad

When you're living your dreams

[Chorus]

This is how we live

This is how we live

Ripped jeans and all

This is what we live

This is what we live for

All the nights spent chasing days

I've made it this far

I'm making my way

[Bridge]

Let's live, live for the city life

Take to the streets like we're kings of the night

Let's live, well, this may not be love

But when I'm standing at your door you'll know

[Chorus]

This is how we live

This is how we live

Ripped jeans and all

This is how we live

This is how we live

Ripped jeans and all

This is what we live

This is what we live for

All the nights spent chasing days

I've made it this far

I'm making my way

This is how we live

This is how we live

Ripped jeans and all

This is what we live

This is what we live for
