Better Off As We Are Lyrics - Just Like A Vacation - Blue Rodeo

We sat around at night and talked about so many things 

Lay on the floor till the morning appeared 

You laughed at me and said, I just don't get it 

You said, we should be making plans for getting out of here 

Somebody told me when I was just a little kid 

Don't follow leaders, just think for yourself 

But everybody minds everybody else's business here 

Why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else 

Tell me no use thinking 

We could ever be something 

We could rise with the stars 

Better off as we are 

My older brother he left the day he finished school 

Moved down to New York to Washington Square 

He calls me up and says you should come and see me 

Watch the waves of people rolling everywhere 

Tell me no use thinking 

We could ever be something 

We could rise with the stars 

Better off as we are 

Late in the evening I'm up in my room 

Trying to think of nothing, clear away the day 

I lie awake and let my body wander 

Up into the moonlight floating away 

Tell me no use thinking 

We could ever be something 

We could rise with the stars 

Better off as we are
