the we sounds like its in the wrong tense or something.

The "we" sounds wrong because there's a shift in the sentence from 3rd person to 1st. How can you rephrase it and get rid of "we"? What would you substitute?

I think it's fine. The only other way would be to turn it all into 3rd person, but it's not as smooth as what you've written.
