Believe Me
DWNTWN Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm falling down and I never wanna come back
We hit the ground but we're never gonna go back
You don't believe me
You talk like you don't believe me
I know I'm still so naïve yeah
You never know what you gonna get
We act like we have never met

You want to run yet time is all I ever had
We're safe and sound though they never understand that
You don't believe me
You talk like you don't believe me
I know I'm still so naïve yeah
You never know what you gonna get
We act like we have never met
Like every hour singing,
Like all the fallen stars we've seen it, yeah

Oh, come on, when you came along
Oh, oh, come on, when you came along
Oh, oh, come on, Oh, oh, come on
When you came along, oh oh, come on x 2

Nothing could go wrong, oh, oh, oh
All I ever want, come on, come on
All I ever want, come on, come on
All I ever want, come on, come on
All I ever want, come on, come on

You don't believe me
You talk like you don't believe me
I know I'm still so naïve yeah
You never know what you gonna get
We act like we have never met

Like every hour singing,
Like all the fallen stars we've seen it, yeah.
