Better Day

(album: Dandelion - 2012)

Say that every bitter rain by every other name
Is good this time of year
The flowers and birds are what the summer deserves
And it's all supposed to start right here

Hey, I'm not trying to keep things from flying around
In the atmosphere
Damn this rain, I'm just looking for a better day

I've been thinking about quitting my job
Down at the corner store
Shoot a little bigger and add a couple figures
To the number I've been working for

I've been pushing my resume to people I meet every day
But they ain't even set all the score
Damn this rain, I'm just looking for a better day

They say all good things could get a little better
Don't worry about the wind or which way the weather might turn
That ain't nothing of your concern
Damn this rain, damn this rain
I'm sick of drowning in this flood
Damn this rain, damn this rain
I'm just stuck in the mud, waiting for something above

Watching people talking as they walk to the streets downtown
From my window above I can get close enough to hear what's going down
Below, there are umbrellas, there just ain't no telling
What's making their world go round
Damn this rain, I'm just looking for a better day

They say all good things could get a little better
Don't worry about the wind or which way the weather might turn
That ain't nothing of your concern
Damn this rain, damn this rain
I'm sick of drowning in this flood
Damn this rain, damn this rain
I'm just stuck in the mud, waiting for something above

They say all good things could get a little better
Don't worry about the wind or which way the weather might turn
That ain't nothing of your concern
Damn this rain, damn this rain
I'm sick of drowning in this flood
Damn this rain, damn this rain
I'm just stuck in the mud, waiting for something above
I'm just stuck in the mud, waiting for something above
