A Better Place, a Better Time Songtext
von Streetlight Manifesto

So she wakes up in time to break down
She left a note up on the dresser
And she's right on time
You don't know anything, right or wrong

I said I know-ow-ow-ow
And she said so-o-o-o
I want to panic but I've had it so I go-o-o-o
You don't owe anything to anyone

But don't take your life
'Cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving
If you don't think they will stop

And when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place, in a better time
So you're tired of living, you feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time


Flipping through the paper today, looking for a specific page
Don't want to find her full name followed by dates
'Cause when I left her alone she made a sound like a moan
You're known by everyone for everything you've done

Fuck buying flowers for grave
I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop to anywhere
Find anyone, do anything, forget and start again, love
She said she won't go

It hurts too much, to stand by, you've got to stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a side tonight
The moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family regardless of what you choose to do

You can't decide, and they're all screaming, why won't you?
I'll start the engine, but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow
Tomorrow and she says
The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me
Without me and I said


If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me
To save me and she says
I think I'll pass away tonight, 'cause it seems I'll never get it right
It's just me, it's just reality

And when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place, in a better time
So you're tired of living, you feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time

Annie says she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure to all her problems
Problems and she says
As long as she has someone near to make it clear she doesn't need to solve them
Solve them and she says

Oh, this loneliness is killing me, it's filling me with anger and resentment
Resentment and she says
I'm turning into someone into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again

And when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place, in a better time
So you're tired of living, you feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time

Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow
Tomorrow and she says
The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me
Without me and I said

If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me
To save me and she says
I think I'll pass away tonight, 'cause it seems I'll never get it right
It's just me, it's just reality

And when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place and in a better time
So you're tired of living and you feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time

And even if it was, oh, I wouldn't let you go
You could run run run run, but I will follow close
Someday you will say that's it, that's all
But I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall

I know that you think that you're on your own
But just know that I am here and I'll lead you home
If you let me
She said forget me but I can't
