How Do We Stay In Love? Songtext

von Blake Rose

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, ah-ah-ah
Hmm
Thought we were made of stone, that we would never fall
But, still, our castles broke into a thousand pieces

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

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

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 (it was nothing like they-, nothing like they-)
How do we stay in love?
Hmm (how do we stay? How do we stay? How do we stay?)
How do we stay in love? Mm

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

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?
