Better Days
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.
Take your picture, quick, right now
Make it last for one more go 'round
Hold on even though the names will change
Some of us made it to the other side
Others didn't, and who knows why?
But those who've gone, I swear you'll still remain
Better days are 'bout to come
Better days are 'bout to come
Better days, oh child, are gonna blow your mind
Better days are 'bout to come
Feel like beating like a drum
So you better grab a tighter hold tonight
Tomorrow's just behind the setting sun
And the better, better days are 'bout to come
Take your picture, quick, right now
Make it last for one more go 'round
Hold on before the curtain falls
We survived those nights at the Troubadour
Braved those scenes a life ago
Back to Monte Carlo, sold it all (Yes, I did)
Better days are 'bout to come
Better days are 'bout to come
Better days, oh child, are gonna blow your mind
Better days are 'bout to come
Feel like beating like a drum
So you better grab a tighter hold tonight
Tomorrow's just behind the setting sun
And the better, better days are 'bout to come (Alright!)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
No, this won't be the last ride
Don't worry when it ends
We're only gettin' happier
We're comin' 'round again
This won't be the last time
Don't worry when it ends
We're only gettin' happier
So peace and love, my friend
Better days are 'bout to come
Better days are 'bout to come
Better days, oh child, are gonna blow your mind
(Blow your mind, yeah)
Better days are 'bout to come
Feel like beating like a drum
So you better grab a tighter hold tonight
Tomorrow's just behind the setting sun
And the better, better days are 'bout to come
