only a wave (better days)

no

i'm never gonna make

the same mistake

it's the one thing i know

as i lie awake

i saw you as the sun

but you're only a day

i saw you as the ocean

but you're only a wave

well

i asked for it all

you gave it to me

but what you gave was broken

and i couldn't see

everyone said

i was blind

but i kept digging deeper

to see what i'd find

and i found. i know there must be better days

right around the corner

maybe the life i'm meant to live

out in california

someday

now nights are long

and i can't sleep

and i can hear the people

out there in the street

they see me in the window

as they walk by

separated by glass

as they're living their lives

and they say. i know there must be better days

right around the corner

maybe the life i'm meant to live

out in california

someday

when the moon shines bright

in the skies above

we're just kids and poets

looking for love

and none of us will know

till the end is near

if we got what we wanted

when the clouds have cleared

mmh. i know there must be better days

right around the corner

i want the life they seem to live

out in california

someday
