[Verse 1]
How could you question God's existence
When you question God himself?
Why would you ask for God's assistance
If you wouldn't take the help?

[Chorus 1]
If you're gone then I need you
If you're gone then how is any of this real?
When I'm on I believe you
When I'm not, my knees don't even seem to feel

[Chorus 2]
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chewed me up, spit me out and pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face?

[Verse 2]
They say the end is coming sooner
But the end's already here
I said today is but a rumor
That we'll laugh at in a year
Or two, or three, or four, or five, whatever

[Chorus 1]
If you're gone then I need you
If you're gone then how is any of this real?
When I'm on I believe you
When I'm not, my knees don't even seem to feel

[Extended Chorus 2]
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chewed me up, spit me out, pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face?
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chewed me up, spit me out, pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face?

[Outro]
How?
How could you tell me that I'm great?
How?
How could you tell me that it's fate?
How?

The Neighbourhood

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
