James Bay - Us

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 losing hope

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 something

I believe in us

After the wreckage, after the dust

I still hear the howling, I still feel the rush

Over the riots, above all the noise

Through all the worry I still hear your voice

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 something

I believe in us

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 something

I believe in us

Oh . .

We used to be kids living just for kicks

In cinema seats learning how to kiss

Running through streets, they were painted gold

We never believed we'd grow up like this

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 something

I believe in us

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 something

I believe in us

I believe in something

I believe in us
