Things Can Only Get Better
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand skeptic hands,
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize
And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we throw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it
And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we throw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we throw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
