Gerard Way - How's It Going To Be Lyrics
Across the city steam and light
Off a runway to the manufactured night
In storybooks you'll never find
In paper armor that you'd mind
They'll hold the match to you this time
In moments you cannot reprise
Like a soldier or a watch that you can't wind
We fought the world with hands twice-tied
The people cheered, the captain cried
I'll keep the souvenir inside
It's just better in my mind
And I wouldn't lie
I never really wanted more
Someone that hates to see me go
You made a promise then you hide
And you said we'd all be dead by twenty-five
It's not your disappointed sigh
It's not you traded this for pride
Not that we really even mind
We're just bored you're still alive
And I wouldn't lie
If I tried, take me down
And if I die here now
Wishing wells and magic spells and everything
between
Can you tell me what it's like?
Or how it's going to be?

Gerard Way How's It Going To Be Comments
This song is like eating a giant bowl of Lucky Charms as a kid
OK, but this is my favorite song off HA 🥺
Now he’s back to doing mcr!
this song gives me so much vibes like you don't understand
This is amazing! So beautiful, and the ending is like something from a fantasy, it’s incredible. Did not expect to be so moved. Genius.
Wow...he is really good
Remember first time hearing it, I had my in ears and was going to work in 6 am in morning and I remember gotten so overwhelmed I cried. The lyrics to this means a lot to me.
My fav song from Hesitant.
"MCR is an idea"
*mcries in idea*
It’s going fine gee thanks for asking 😎
I need a cigarette...
The 66 people who disliked this is the ones that said they’d be dead by 25
SOMEONE THAT HATES TO SEE ME GO (me. i hate to see you go.)
I'm literally so obsessed with this song right now
Love this
this song is magical nobody can convince me otherwise
It really is, isn't it?
This really helped me through thick and thin
*I'm really tired and the beginning reminded me of Mama for some reason and I got really thrown off like "wait I thought this was Hesitant Alien not The Black Parade???"*
*turns out I'm just stupid. so*
And you said we’d all be dead by 25
THIS IS NOW MY FAVORITE SONG IT SOUNDS SO MAGICAL AND INSPIRATIONAL AND HIS *VOICE* AND JUST EVERYTHING I LOVE HESISTANT ALIEN I LOVE GERARD WAY I LOVE LIFE
This is my very favorite song omfg
2018: Gerard i love you :))
*looks at the title*
_nopenopenopenopenopenopenopenope_
rainydreaming whats n open
I’m ready for his new song tomorrow anyone else
i can see 2004 gerard singing this
This literally sounds like the intro to an adorable cartoon, and I feel like that was entirely intentional.
This man reinvents himself with every new project he takes on.
WHOS LISTENING TO THIS IN 2018?? ME!! BECAUSE I LOVE GW.. And I listened to Sqaishey Quack sing this.. And I figured out this is a GS Song... THEY SOUND THE SAME..
i love you babe
No.. I'm not listening to this on repeat.. you are! And I'm not crying either.. that's just eye sweat
I came here from MCR, seeing what Gerard is doing now... This is my first song from him, and once I heard his voice,, I started crying. Dammit Gerard... I miss you.
gerard's music makes me dream... forget about the sad things. love his voice and everything😂
My favorite song in the whole album
About 2 mins in and I start to question if he hasn’t changed that much
Across the city steam and light
Off a runway to the manufactured night
In storybooks you'll never find
In paper armor that you'd mind
They'll hold the match to you this time
And watch the smoke rings fit the crime
In moments you cannot reprise
Like a soldier or a watch that you can't wind
We fought the world with hands twice-tied
The people cheered, the captain cried
I'll keep the souvenir inside
It's just better in my mind
And I wouldn't lie
I never really wanted more
Than what I ever really needed after all
Someone that hates to see me go
You made a promise then you hide
And you said we'd all be dead by twenty-five
It's not your disappointed sigh
It's not you traded this for pride
Not that we really even mind
We're just bored you're still alive
And I wouldn't lie
If I tried, take me down
And if I die here now
Wishing wells and magic spells and everything
between
Can you tell me what it's like?
Or how it's going to be?
Thanks for the lyrics bud
This song is my life soundtrack
Damn, It's been a while...
Someone: magic doesn't exist
Me: oh yeah man then explain THIS
I knew what was up huh
This song gives me lots of good feelings I love it
This song literally helps me with my anxiety and helped me when I came out.
So.. if anyone feels like they've heard this song before but know they haven't (besides listening to it on purpose) or they just feel weird listening to it, please please please tell me
it has a weird feeling to it
YES IT FEELS NOSTALGIC IDK WHY
i feel like that with action cat
That's me with every song
"you made a promise that you hide, and you said we'd all be dead by twenty-five"
"i thought i wouldn't live to 25"
Gee: Mama we all go to hell.
Gee now: Wishing wells and magic spells
Really how it be.... still good, glad he's in a better mental state, he was a raging alcoholic and addicted to drugs and wanted to die. Now he has a Bandit.
I feel like right now I need like a video of me on a train traveling around the world and doing a bunch of artistic and cool things with this song as the music
Coydence Poskey I like listening to this song on long car trips and looking out the window overdramatically.
That is abosolutely the mood this conveys.
@Mel Watson why?
This album is perfect
THIS SONG IS MAGICAL
I love Gerard he has such a lovely voice, he's an excellent artist, and he is quite inspiring at least to me.
I love Gerard Way! He really is inspiring. He's my absolute role model and I would die to meet him. He makes me want to follow my dreams and reminds me it's okay to be different. I can't explain how much I love him.
same, I feel the exact way towards Gerard, and that's why I've listened to more of his songs than anybody else's songs
I used to like P!atd but I only ended up knowing 25 of their songs
but I know about 53 MCR songs because they inspire me so much
Gad damn it Gee why the hell does your voice have to be so god damn prefect
*moshes like an idiot* I MOSH BC IT'S GR8
This reminds me so much by Stay...
I'm pulling an all nighter purely for the purpose of blasting this album, and screeching along to it.
LukeIAmYourMother your profile picture reminds me of the cover of Nirvana’s album called Nevermind 😂
M O O D
This one is my favorite of the album, it's SOOO good.
Good Lord Gerard! YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE. Your voice soothes my soul.
why does hesitant alien always make me cry
+Stephen Odom yep. in our minds. kinda like. i dunno... an idea?
because your beautiful and this album is beautiful :D
Because it’s a happy album.
I think it's because is truly and heartfull... and we can relate with so many parts of the lyrics - like Always- and remember us that we grow up and we deserve to be happy too...Also I cry a lot 😍😍😍
AHHHH i forgot how much i love this song
This makes me happy but about thinking about MCR...dang it Gee..I need to download it...
That ending ..perfect. Reminds me of some of Mew's finer moments.
👏👏👏👏 beautiful
just like you profile pic (i love ptv)
This song is one of my favorites off of Hesitant Alien... Ugh, it makes me sad yet happy, dang it Gerard...
Maddie Hall that's exactly how I feel about it too ❤
Samee it's so gorgeous at the hook I cried at lunch when it got there
