this is how we live

back from the road and i'm back at her door, i'm sleeping tonight, on another floor, 'cause when life's too fast, i take a longer road, i dust off my shoes and my dirty clothes, so you heard i'm back town, tellin' all your friends i'm making millions now, got a car and a new house, but too bad baby, i'm leaving the city, no if, ands or maybes driving me crazy, this is how we live, this is how we live, ripped jeans and all, this is what we live, this is what we live for, too weak to punch the clock and join the real world, so i wake up every night, forget what i'm told, 'cause i got all my friends with me, yeah, an empty wallet doesn't seem half bad, when you're living your dreams, this is how we live, this is how we live, ripped jeans and all, this is what we live, this is what we live for, all the nights spent chasing days, i've made it this far, i'm making my way, let's live, live for the city life, take to the streets like we're kings of the night, let's live, well, this may not be love, but when i'm standing at your door you'll know, this is how we live, this is how we live, ripped jeans and all, this is how we live, this is how we live, ripped jeans and all, this is what we live, this is what we live for, all the nights spent chasing days, i've made it this far, i'm making my way, this is how we live, this is how we live, ripped jeans and all, this is what we live, this is what we live for
