Better Days

Music: Pat Metheny
Lyrics: Randy Phillips

I didn’t sleep ‘till the morning
should’ve taken that sign as a warning
Last night my well thought out plans
Took it on the chin, came caving in again

Looking forward to the time
When things go well
Looking forward to the time
The roof isn’t wrecked and the rain
Doesn’t drip on my face in bed

Better days ahead
If my eyes weren’t so blurred I’d be
Seeing straight ahead

Stock market fell to the bottom
Talk about your bills, boy, have I got ‘em
Last night deflated desire
Broke my stride, my flow
Screwed up my throw again

Looking forward to my change in attitude
Looking forward to my change in mood,
Turning black and then blue
‘cause my bankroll is in the red
Better days ahead
If you can’t change the story
Change the point of view, instead

Tag:

If you can’t change the story
Change the point of view
The other shoe
Brand spanking new
If you can’t change the story
Change the point of view, instead
