[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

[Pre-Chorus]
'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

[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
But it's just way too late for that
Should've believed in us
Should've believed in us, ah, oh, oh

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
