  • We were in your basement hiding out
    Eating pills and falling in love
    There's only one thing I could never doubt
    It's in my arms right now

    But you do what you gotta do
    Don't worry what they say about you
    Is it true? Is it true? Ohh
    Yeah, you do what you gotta do
    Don't worry what they say about us

    So fold your hands, child
    And walk straight now
    Go on, take your best shot
    They can never find our secret hiding spot
    Where we play all day
    We'll go on and on anyway, yeah

    We're just a little older, baby, now
    But we don't gotta be what they want
    'Cause I still got a little boy at heart
    He wants to fuck shit up

    'Cause we do what we gotta do
    We never even cared about you
    It's the truth, it's the truth, ohh
    Yeah, we do what we gotta do
    We're only gonna care about us

    So fold your hands, child
    And walk straight now
    Go on, take your best shot
    They can never find our secret hiding spot
    Where we play all day
    We'll go on and on anyway, yeah

    When I was around
    I was the only one protecting you
    Now that I'm gone
    How can you do the things we used to do? Yeah
    I know it's clear that times are changing
    But I'm staying the same
    I know the fear is paralyzing
    When nothing matters at all

    So fold your hands, child
    And walk straight now
    Go on, take your best shot
    They can never find our secret hiding spot
    Where we play all day
    We'll go on and on anyway
    On and on anyway
    On and on anyway, yeah Writer/s: Gabe Saporta
