Better Written Off (Than Written Down)

The Leisure Society - Better Written Off

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 these shapeless shoulders

and this cold, dead smile

These days are better written off than written down

Will you live your life

through a bustling child

or will you sail the seas

of self-discovery?

Does it make you smile

when you think of a rhyme

or do you get tired

just burning oxygen?

If I keep folding

there'll be nothing left of me

but these shapeless shoulders

and this cold, dead smile

These days are better written off than written down

Oh the wasted days

and the promises made

put the fear of God

in every one of us

Resolution see

through the soles of your feet

So find a girl you can reach

ever the optimist

If I keep folding

there'll be nothing left of me

but these shapeless shoulders

and this cold, dead smile

These days are better written off than written down
