[Verse 1]
You believe in all I say
Then you throw it all away
Before you close the door
Are you really any better off than before?

[Verse 2]
You go rambling through my day
While I'm out here making my way
Still I walk the floor
Am I really any better off than before?

[Bridge]
Things never looked so rosy
Everything will be okay
I couldn't be much better if I tried

[Verse 3]
When I get myself to bed
With the words that never got said
Turning on the news
Are we ever any better off when we lose?
And we can pick and choose

[Verse 4]
You got a pathway to my heart
Till the cruel world took it apart
Before I close the door
Are you really any better off than before?
[Verse 5]
You meander in my dreams
Leave me halfway in between
So I hit the floor
Am I really any better off than before?

[Bridge]
Things never looked so rosy
Everything will be alright
I couldn't be much better if I tried

[Verse 6]
You go rambling through my mind
On a path I'm hoping I'll find
Turning on the news
Are we ever any better off when we lose?
And we can pick and choose

[Outro]
Still I walk the floor
Are we really any better off than before?
Better off than before
