​live it down Lyrics

[Intro]
First to let you live it down

[Verse 1]
I just heard in so many words
That with every right decision, you just took a turn
I bet everything inside you wants to take it back
But it's where we're at
All I know, you shouldn't be alone
So I'm in my car, I'm coming over, are you home?
I got a shoulder you can lean on and a fifth of Jack
'Cause I've got your back

[Pre-Chorus]
People make rockets, they go to the moon
People make mistakes too
So whatever you do

[Chorus]
Know that I will still be here
If the whole world shuts you out
I'm not gonna run
If you mess it up, I'll be the one
Be the first to let you live it down

[Verse 2]
I'm sure it feels like this wound won't heal
And the shadow that you're living in is all that's real
But tomorrow is a story that's not written yet
So take a breath, and don't forget
[Pre-Chorus]
That people make rockets, they go to the moon
People make mistakes too
So whatever you do

[Chorus]
Know that I will still be here
If the whole world shuts you out
I'm not gonna run
If you mess it up, I'll be the one
Be the first to let you live it down
You can cry a million tears
Black out, pass out on my couch
It's the kind of love
If you mess it up, I'll be the one
Be the first to let you live it down
The first to let you live it down
The first to let you live it down, yeah

[Outro]
People make rockets, they go to the moon
People make mistakes too

What did LANY say about "​live it down"?
Genius Answer

We live in such a time where everyone is quick to write off everyone as if they’ve never made a mistake in their entire lives. People aren’t allowed to be people. If this is cancel culture, I want to be as far away as I possibly can. Because the truth is, people are fucking awesome, and they really do stupid things sometimes. That doesn’t mean that they don’t matter.
