Better Off(Lyrics)

I've looked back on my life
Know I've taken bad advice
Wasted time on chasing little things
That were never good for me
Held back who I was
For so long all because
I feared no one would
Take me as I am
We've all thought that some time
What life would be like
If we just disappeared
Into the night

But what would we be
If there was no you or me
No drawing skylines on the waterfront
Memories to take more pictures of
What would be be
If there was no time to waste
No running cross the highways
Laughter on our worst of days
Who would've thought we would be
Sitting staring at those colored walls
Wondering
Could we be...
Better off
Better off

I haven't lived that long I know
Never suffered enough to let it show
But I got feelings too
They could be the same as you do
We can't help our wandering minds
They look passed the silver lines
And we all have thoughts sometimes
That aren't quite the ones we want
But don't just them go
Hold onto them and soon you'll know

What would we be
If there was no you or me
No drawing skylines on the waterfront
Memories to take more pictures of
What would be be
If there was no time to waste
No running cross the highways
Laughter on our worst of days
You'd never thought we too would be
Sitting staring at those colored walls
Wondering
Could we be...
Better off

Can't stop here
It'll never be clear
Where our vision blurs too much
Can't break yet
It'll never stay set
Where our minds can't make out that much
Don't stop thinking until you figure it out...

What would we be
If there was no you or me
No drawing skylines on the waterfront
Memories to take more pictures of
What would we be
If there was no time to waste
No running cross the highways
Laughter on our worst of days
You'd never thought we too would be
Sitting staring at those colored walls
Wondering
I couldn't be...
Better off
