Better Off as Fools

Verse 1: You had me enchanted for a minute
You had me believing that we could fit

Refrain 1: But then the day grew old
The sun turned cold
We couldn’t see the road home
Never had we been so tired, so alone

*CHORUS*: We were stars that could never be caught
The world’s too fragile to tear us down, or so we thought
As time found us, we became its tools
Better off as fools, we were better off playing fools.

Verse 2: I once knew of a town that was so very hollow
You tell me, pop a smile on your dial, there’ll be tomorrow

Refrain 2: So young we were,
nothing stopped us chasing rainbows.
Learned the hard way,
that it’s far easier to follow

*CHORUS*

Bridge: Listen closely, watch these lines untangle slowly
Their words won’t hurt if we imagine that we’re birds.

*CHORUS*
