How Do We Stay In Love? Lyrics by Blake Rose
[Verse 1]
Two kids out, wandering
Kingdom between our streets, highest I've ever been
With two feet on the pavement
Lost in a world we knew
Meanwhile, the cancer grew
But they were too scared to say
'Cause we're too young to get it
Hmm-mm, ah-ah-ah, hmm-mm
Thought we were made of stone
That we would never fall
But, still, our castle's broke
Into a thousand pieces
[Chorus]
It's nothing like they promised
But how could we have known?
In a world gone up in smoke
How do we stay honest?
How do we not give up?
How do we stay in love? Hmm-mm
[Verse 2]
I haven't seen you since
The winter that I watched the house you grew up in
Turn into a prison
When your mother passed away
Angel in human skin, there were no words to say
But fuck all our religions
[Chorus]
It was nothing like they promised
But how could we have known?
In a world gone up in smoke
How do we stay honest?
How do we not give up?
How do we stay in love? Hmm-mm (It was nothing like they, nothing like they—)
How do we stay in love? Hmm-mm, hmm-mm (How do we stay? How do we stay?)
How do we stay in love? Mm
[Bridge]
Walking down these streets, I'm freezing
All our footsteps, disappearing
Some places are built for leaving, but
It's like we were never here
[Chorus]
It's nothing like they promised
But how could we have known?
In a world gone up in smoke
How do we stay honest?
How do we not give up?
How do we stay in love?
