Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year -- Fall Out Boy

Are we growing up or just going down It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take her tears, put them on ice Cause 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 

Are we growing up or just going down? It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take her tears, put them on ice Cause 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 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 her tears, put them on ice Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
And There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up but there's another around to help us bend your trust  I've 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 
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 her tears, put them on ice Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
