Believed
Lauv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instead I took a plane out of this town
And missed out on us
Wasted, and all of my regret, I can taste it
If I had a time machine I would take it
And make it back to us
Now I'm reminiscing 'round the clock
Didn't know it then but now I know
All this time, I, I
Shoulda believed in us
While we existed
'Cause now the whole thing's fucked
And just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring it back I would
But it's just way too late for that
Shoulda believed in us
Shoulda believed in us, oh, oh, whoa
And I wish I would've been patient
Instead of letting all of your motion
Stunt emotions with you
'Cause now I'm reminiscing 'round the clock
Wish that I could make it stop
Didn't know it then but now I know
All this time, I
Shoulda believed in us
While we existed
'Cause now the whole thing's fucked
And just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring it back I would
But it's just way too late for that
Shoulda believed in us
Shoulda believed in us, oh, oh, whoa
Shoulda believed in us
Shoulda believed in us, oh, oh, whoa
If I could bring you back I would
But it's just way too late for that
Shoulda believed in
If I could bring you back I would
But it's just way too late for that
Shoulda believed in us
While we existed
'Cause now the whole thing's fucked
And just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring you back I would
But it's just way too late for that
Shoulda believed in us
Shoulda believed in us, oh, oh, whoa

Midtown, almost got a place out in Midtown
Except I took a plane out of this town and missed out on us
Wasted and all of my regret I can taste it
If I had a time machine, I would take it and make it back to us
Now I’m reminiscing round the clock, wish that I could make it stop
Didn’t know it then, but now I know all this time I-I
Should’ve believed in us while we existed
Cause now the whole thing’s fucked and just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring it back, I would but it’s just way too late for that
Should’ve believed in us
Should’ve believed in us
And I wish I would've been patient
Instead I let in all the emotions turned to motions with you
Cause now I’m reminiscing round the clock, wish that I could make it stop
Didn’t know it then, but now I know all this time I-I
Should’ve believed in us while we existed
Cause now the whole thing’s fucked and just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring it back, I would but it’s just way too late for that
Should’ve believed in us
Should’ve believed in us

[Verse 1]
Midtown, almost got a place out of midtown
Instead, I took a plane out of this town
And missed out on us, mmm
Wasted, and all of my regret, I can taste it
If I had a time-machine I would take it
And make it back to us
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm reminiscing 'round the clock
Wish that I could make it stop
Didn't know it then, but now I know all this time, I, I
[Chorus]
Should've believed in us
While we existed
'Cause now the whole thing's fucked
And just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring you back, I would
But it's just way too late for that
Should've believed in us
Should've believed in us, ah, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
And I wish I would've been patient
Instead of lettin' all the emotions
Turn to motions with you, mmm

Didn't know it then, but now I know all this time, I
[Chorus]
Should've believed in us (Oh woah)
While we existed
'Cause now the whole thing's fucked (Oh woah)
And just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring you back, I would
But it's just way too late for that
Should've believed in us
Should've believed in us, ah, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Should've believed in us
Should've believed in us, ah, oh, woah
If I could bring you back I would
But it's just way too late for that
Should've believed in
If I could bring you back I would
But it's just way too late for that
[Chorus]
Should've believed in us (Oh woah)
While we existed
'Cause now the whole thing's fucked (Oh woah)
And just a figment of my imagination
If I could bring you back I would
