Better To Be
The thing about writing sometimes is that pieces write themselves, really.
I had very little to do with this one. It came to me on a train on a really
crappy day. These are real people, and it really all started when I thought about something He
said earlier in the day.. and 15 minutes later it was done. I'm
rather happy with this one, and that's unusual. ;-)
he says its better to be
happy for a time than never happy for any time at all
he says its better to be
standin on a cloud even if it thunders loud while you fall
he says its better to be...
but he isn't me
-c-
don't want to be funny
i don't want to smile
just want to get away for awhile
and dig thoughts of you out of my head
got nowhere to go
got nowhere to hide
from what is left of you trapped inside
and i fear what awaits me in my bed
---
she says its better to be
just as we are though we were reachin for the stars an hour ago
she says its better to be
satisfied with less so we never must address the chance of pain
she says its better to be
livin' without me
-repeat c-
i say its better to be
dyin from the cryin but not for lack of tryin to make it
i say its better to be
but no one's askin me...
(he says its better to be... HAPPY)
i say its better to be
but no one's askin me...
(she says its better to be.. SAFE)
i say its better to be
but no one's askin me...
(he says its better to be... HAPPY)
i say its better to be
but no one's askin me...
(she says its better to be.. SAFE)
i say its better to be...
but you're not askin' me....
