Leave It Better Than You Found It

[Verse 1]
Well, I gotta admit that the older I get
That I don’t know shit about anything anymore
And I thought that I did when I was a kid
That’s why I like to forget, so I get stoned with my friends

[Chorus]
And I guess that I hope when it’s my time to go
That they say I was alive, and I tried to be kind
And at times at bars with karaoke, I fully ascend
And that I left this place better than I found it
Whoo

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh

[Verse 2]
Used to be a know-it-all, now I’m just growing small
Cracked the mirror, let if fall, so much for walking so tall
When you live in regret, you get stuck in your head
You don’t know what to expect, everything’s turning red

[Chorus]
Maybe life is like a canvas, throwing paint at the wall
And seeing what sticks, loosen the grip and let it fall
But the truth of it is, it’s not over yet
And I’ll leave this place better than I found it

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh

[Verse 3]
On our sweet by and by, they won’t have to ask why
They’ll say we had our mistakes, gave it the old college try
In this game of pretend, we’re just trying to mend
Maybe we just grow old, to become more like a kid

[Chorus]
So we’re walking the line, 'cause we’re all running out of time
Gotta keep an open mind and leave the darkness behind
And we’ll never regret, like our grandmas said
And we’ll leave this place better than we found it

[Bridge]
I hope we leave this place better than we found it
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
I hope we leave this place better (Ah-ah, oh) than we found it

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh (Leave this place better than we found it)
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh (Leave this place better than we found it)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (We’re not where we’re going)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (But we’re not in the same place where we’ve been)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (But we'll leave this place better than we found it)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (We’re not where we’re going)
Ooh, ooh-ooh (But we’re not in the same place where we’ve been)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (We'll leave this place better than we found it)
We’re not where we’re going
But we’re not in the same place where we’ve been
But we'll leave this place better than we found it
We’re not where we’re going
But we’re not in the same place where we’ve been
But we'll leave this place better
