Better Written Off (Than Written Down) Lyrics
From the darkest lows
to the heavenly highs
Another dream let go
on every mantelpiece
If you had your life
to live over again
would you do it in style
or make those same mistakes?
If I keep folding
there'll be nothing left of me
but shapeless shoulders
and this cold, dead smile
These days are better written off than written down
Will you live your life
through a blossoming child
or will you sail the seas
of self-discovery?
Does it make you smile
when you think of the ride
or do you get tired
just burning oxygen?
If I keep folding
there'll be nothing left of me
but shapeless shoulders
and this cold, dead smile
These days are better written off than written down
Oh the wasted days
and the promises made
could put the fear of God
in every one of us
Resolutions seep
through the soles of your feet
So find a boy you can reach
ever the optimist
If I keep folding
there'll be nothing left of me
but shapeless shoulders
and this cold, dead smile
These days are better written off than written down
to the heavenly highs
Another dream let go
on every mantelpiece
to live over again
would you do it in style
or make those same mistakes?
there'll be nothing left of me
but shapeless shoulders
and this cold, dead smile
These days are better written off than written down
through a blossoming child
or will you sail the seas
of self-discovery?
when you think of the ride
or do you get tired
just burning oxygen?
there'll be nothing left of me
but shapeless shoulders
and this cold, dead smile
These days are better written off than written down
and the promises made
could put the fear of God
in every one of us
through the soles of your feet
So find a boy you can reach
ever the optimist
there'll be nothing left of me
but shapeless shoulders
and this cold, dead smile
These days are better written off than written down
