Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I'm beaten, sometimes I'm broke

'Cause sometimes this city is nothing but smoke

Is there a secret? Is there a code?

Can we make it better? 'Cause I'm losin' hope

[Chorus]

Tell me how to be in this world

Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt

Tell me how 'cause I believe in somethin'

I believe in us

[Verse 2]

After the wreckage, after the dust

I still hear their howling, I still feel the rush

Over the riots, above all the noise

And through all the worry, I still hear your voice

[Chorus]

So tell me how to be in this world

Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt

Tell me how 'cause I believe in somethin'

I believe in us

[Chorus]

Tell me when the light goes down

That even in the dark, we will find a way out

Tell me now 'cause I believe in somethin'

I believe in us

[Bridge]

We used to be kids livin' just for kicks

In cinema seats, learnin' how to kiss

Runnin' through streets that were painted gold

We never believed we'd grow up like this

[Chorus]

So tell me how to be in this world

Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt

Tell me how 'cause I believe in somethin'

I believe in us

[Chorus]

Tell me when the light goes down

That even in the dark, we can find a way out

Tell me now 'cause I believe in somethin'

I believe in us

I believe in somethin'

I believe in us
