A Better Place - Kaskade & Swanky Tunes

She said she'd never believed in the idea of fate No love at first sight stories I wasn't her soul mate When she collapsed I thought she was joking But she didn't get up again, she didn't get up again A thousand flowers, a hundred cards to say She's in a better place, she's in a better place Just face it, just face it, you can't let go (I can't be spoken for anymore) Just face it, just face it, you're on your own (I gave up everything I know) It carries on, it never stops (How could I go on without, how could I go on without) Just face it, just face it, you can't let go You can't let go She always said I was way too safe and I never could have fun I had to make few mistakes and get into trouble while I'm young So we broke in to the old train station And danced away the night until the cops chased us away It breaks my heart to think she's in a better place Just face it, just face it, you can't let go (I can't be spoken for anymore) Just face it, just face it, you're on your own (I gave up everything I know) It carries on, it never stops (How could I go on without, how could I go on without) Just face it, just face it, you can't let go You can't let go You can't let go Just face it, just face it One day I took off my ring to see if the memory would start to fade The time I spent away I wasted all those days She's in a better place, she's in a better place Just face it, just face it, you can't let go (I can't be spoken for anymore) Just face it, just face it, you're on your own (I gave up everything I know) It carries on, it never stops (How could I go on without, how could I go on without) Just face it, just face it, you can't let go You can't let go You can't let... go Just face it, just face it If I could, I'd trade with you If I could, I would

It was an early morning bar room, And the place just opened up. And the little man come in so fast and Started at his cup. And the broad who served the whisky She was a big old friendly girl. And she tried to fight her empty nights By smilin' at the world. And she said "Hey Bub, It's been awhile Since you been around. Where the hell you been hidin'? And why you look so down?" But the little man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound. The waitress she gave out with a cough, And acting not the least put off, She spoke once again. She said, "I don't want to bother you, Consider it's understood. I know I'm not no beauty queen, But I sure can listen good." And the little man took his drink in his hand And he raised it to his lips. He took a couple of sips. And he told the waitress this story. "I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die. And I watch the metal rusting, and I watch the time go by. A week ago at the diner I stopped to get a bite. And this here lovely lady she sat two seats from my right. And Lord, Lord, Lord she was alright. "Well, she was so damned beautiful she could warm a winter's frost. But she was long past lonely, and well nigh kinda lost. Now I'm not much of a mover, or a pick-em-up easy guy, But I decided to glide on over, and give her one good try. And Lord, Lord, Lord she was worth a try. "I was Tongued-tied like a school boy, and I stammered out some words. But it did not seem to matter much, 'cause I don't think she heard. She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my head. And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she said, 'If you want me to come with you, then that's all right with me. Cause I know I'm going nowhere, and anywhere's a better place to be. Anywhere's a better place to be.' "I drove her to my boarding house, and I took her up to my room. And I went to turn on the only light to brighten up the gloom. But she said, 'Please leave the light off, Oh I don't mind the dark.' And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my heart. The moonlight SHONE upon her as she lay back in my bed. It was the kind of scene I only had imagined in my head. I just could not believe it, to think that she was real. And as I tried to tell her she said 'Shhh. I know just how you feel. And if you want to come here with me, then that's all right with me. 'Cause I've been oh so lonely, lovin' someone is a better way to be. Anywhere's a better way to be.' "The morning came so swiftly as I held her in my arms. But she slept like a baby, snug and safe from harm. I did not want to share her or dare to break the mood, So before she woke I went out to buy us both some food. "I came back with my paper bag, to find that she was gone. She'd left a six word letter saying 'It's time that I moved on.'" The waitress took her bar rag, and she wiped it across her eyes. And as she spoke her voice came out as something like a sigh. She said "I wish that I was beautiful, or that you were halfway blind. And I wish I weren't so god-damned fat, I wish that you were mine. And I wish that you'd come with me, when I leave for home. For we both know all about loneliness, and livin' all alone." And the little man, Looked at the empty glass in his hand. And he smiled a crooked grin, He said, " I guess I'm out of gin. And know we both have been so lonely. And if you want me to come with you, then that's all right with me. 'Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be."

There's a bit of magic in a simple little smile Something that just makes life seem a little more worthwhile And there's a world of meaning in the touch of someone's hand A gentle touch that let's your brother know you understand Oh if people would stop taking and just once try to give We could make the world we're living in a better place to live La la la la la la la la la la la la And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me La la la la la la la la la la la la All life has to offer that's what most folks desire But offer nothing in return, cause they don't seem to care And if we'd ask to be forgiven and be willing to forgive We could make the world we're living in a better place to live And if we'd all climb together, we could climb the highest hill We could make the world we're living in a better place to live And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me La la la la la la la la la la la la

We stand and watch The world go up in flames We fight for love Until we die in vain When the sky is getting dark And we're broken in our hearts When we build our own demise From the ashes we will rise When the world, world World is falling down Will you be, be Be my solid ground? When the world, world World is falling down Will you be, be, be Be my solid ground? Be my solid ground We look off the edge 'Til the waves come crashing in We say our goodbyes To the tides that might have been When the sky is getting dark And we're broken in our hearts When we build our own demise From the ashes we will rise When the world, world World is falling down Will you be, be Be my solid ground? When the world, world World is falling down Will you be, be, be Be my solid ground? When the world, world World is falling down Will you be, be, be Be my solid ground?
