Better World

(album: This Is What 21 Feels Like - 2021)

Sometimes I wish I could run away from home
But I'm 21 and living on my own
Guess home is just a place inside my head
But I want to be somewhere else instead
When I get scared 'cause outside it gets dark
And my eyes feel like windows to my heart
The pain I see comes in without a knock
And I fall asleep wishing my doors were locked

I just want someone to hold me and tell me it's all gonna be alright
But I know that it's gonna be up to me this time

There's a better world out there
I just haven't found it yet
But I hear whispers in the air
And I can see it in my head
If I can learn to love my fears
Maybe then I won't forget
That there's a better world out there
And I just haven't found it yet

Sometimes I wish I could run away from home
And go some place that no one's ever known
Where everyone is loved and all are free
And life ain't always tearing at the seams
But I'm in my room and trying not to break
Patching holes but feeling all the rain
Then I see the morning sunlight coming in
And showing me we all can start again

I just want someone to hold me and tell me it's all gonna be alright
But I know that it's gonna be up to me this time

There's a better world out there
I just haven't found it yet
But I hear whispers in the air
And I can see it in my head
I know if I can shed a tear
For someone that I've never met
That there's a better world out there
And I just haven't found it yet

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm not gonna stop 'til I find it
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying

There's a better world out there
I just haven't found it yet
But I hear whispers in the air
And I can see it in my head
If I can learn to love my fears
Maybe then I won't forget
That there's a better world out there
And I just haven't found it yet
