Only A Wave (Better Days)

(album: Here, Right Now - 2019)

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
