BETTER THAN THE WAY THINGS WERE

Here is one that i wrote. Kinda how i feel latley.

Change breaks through the night
Fierce like a light
Tears of fears that fell before
Remain only stains on some dirty floor

In some place somebody else can live
and never notice the damaged walls
they can laugh and drink and love
and never even know we were here at all…

Instead of
tears falling from
eyes of hurt…
The way things are can be…
Better than the…
Better than the…
Better then the way things were
Yes…
Better then the.. better then the…
Better then the way things were…

Some people can look and see
I hope that’s me
How can we change to save our lives?
How can we generate our own lights?

Somebody with their drink on
In a bar, eyes far away…
lover at home with the tv on
Who said it has to be that way…

Instead of
wondering and
never sure…
The way things are can be…
Better than the…
Better than the…
Better then the way things were
Yes…
Better then the.. better then the…
Better then the way things were…

Cars stopping in the dead of night
Out on empty streets…
The radio on and the doors wide open
dancing close like when folks first meet

and instead of
fading out
into some blur
the way we are can be…
better than the… better then the…
better then the way things were
yeah.. yeah…

better then the
so much better then the
better then the way things were…
