A Better Time - Monroe Days

It's a better than good time It's a better than good time For making up your mind to stay It's a better than good time It's a better than good time Now you're here with me, this way 'Cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then Tell me that you're ready to try again It's a better than good time For making up your mind about love It's taken half of my life to see Maybe the best thing that ever happened to me I just let slip through my fingers Like he was nothing at all (nothing at all) Nothing at all All over and out of touch And my own company doesn't thrill me too much Right now it's hard to imagine I used to believe, it couldn't happen to me It shouldn't happen to me Ohh! It's a better than good time It's a better than good time For making up your mind to stay It's a better than good time It's a better than good time Now you're here with me, this way 'Cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then Tell me that you're ready to try again It's a better than good time It's a better than good time For making up your mind about love You could say i'm the classic case My own thoughtlessness thrown back in my face Till that part of my life I'd learned nothing at all (nothing at all) Nothing at all When midnight holds no more Than a worn out movie that you've seen before That's when you start realizing What life could be It couldn't happen to me It shouldn't happen to me It's a better than good time It's a better than good time For making up your mind to stay It's a better than good time It's a better than good time Now you're here with me, this way 'Cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then Tell me that you're ready to try again It's a better than good time It's a better than good time For making up your mind about love It's a better than good time It's a better than good time For making up your mind to stay It's a better than good time It's a better than good time Now you're here with me, this way 'Cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then Tell me that you're ready to try again It's a better than good time It's a better than good time For making up your mind about love

At the core of the Earth It's too hot to breathe There's nothing much to eat And everybody leaves There's a place in the forest Where the animals dance Carefree and joyous, like nobody's watching And nobody's watching So they laugh and they dance Around mahogany trees Completely unawares they're gonna end up as meat And nobody's watching Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up So, you know me, understand me Is that what you think? You haven't met the monster Who wakes up when I drink I was born out of time I'm not meant to be here With the weight of the world and the weight of a tear Are exactly the same Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up There's a spot in the ocean And that's where we'll meet Somewhere far away Where fish can nibble at our feet And we can grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up It's a gas It's a party on this planet of flakes Somebody take a picture Before it's too late

Welcome to our house On Maple Avenue See how we polish and we shine We rearrange and realign Everything is balanced and... And... Days, and days, and days That's how it happens Days, and days, and days Made of lunches And car rides And shirts and socks And grades And piano And no one clocks the day you disappear Days, and days, and days That's how it happens Days, and days, and days Made of posing And bragging And fits of rage And boys, my god, some of them underage! And, oh, how did it all happen here? There was a time your father swept me off my feet with words We read books Strolled through Munich at night Drank beer with friends Discussed the places we would go And he said I understood how the world made him ache But no, but no... That's how it happens Days Made of bargains I made because I thought as a wife I was meant to And now my life is shattered and laid bare Days, and days, and days, and days And days, and days, and days Welcome to our house on Maple Avenue See how we polish and we shine We rearrange and realign Everything is balanced and serene Like chaos never happens if it's never seen Don't you come back here I didn't raise you To give away your days Like me

Better days Better days I wish I could go back to that better day There's still so much left that I wanted to say I don't need these fake friends right now Wish I could go back somehow I wish I could go back to that better day Thinking back of the past How my life used to be All the times with my friends It was so good Look at me now Right here, all alone in my room Writing songs that I never thought I would Click pause, and hit that rewind All I wanna do is go back in time Pick it up, get kicked back down Reminiscing the past Keep thinking bout those I wish I could go back to that better day There's still so much left that I wanted to say I don't need these fake friends right now Wish I could go back somehow I wish I could go back to that better day I wish I could go back to that better day There's still so much left that I wanted to say I don't need these fake friends right now Wish I could go back somehow I wish I could go back to that better day Better days Better days
