I think I'll buy a gun and blame it on my hometown
It's so cold in the deep
She asked me if I think I'll ever see her again
I say hopefully
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
My heroes all died young
They hung themselves with fame

And these lunatics, molded me
I got a tattoo, it's a joke I keep a secret
I need everyone to notice me

But maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

I think I'll die young
With all my broken dreams
I've got it figured out
This is the golden key
Everything is how it's supposed to be
Everything is how it's supposed to be
We messed it all up
Now the world is getting warmer

LA will be out at open sea
Meanwhile, I'm falling down
My heart is getting colder
I hurt everyone close to me

But maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

I think I'll die young
With all my broken dreams
I've got it figured out
This is the golden key
The day my daddy died
I was down the street
I lost my only friend
People don't grow on trees

But maybe that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, everything is how it's supposed to be
Say, I think that's the way it's supposed to be

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

Say I think that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, everything is how it's supposed to be
I think this is how it's supposed to be
