Things could be better
Things could really be alright
I wouldn't have to lie here
All alone, next to you at night
With your heart somewhere it used to be
My, it's half a world away
And you can go back there tomorrow
But you can't go yesterday
All your yesterdays ain't nothin'
And tomorrow's even less than yesterday
Still you want for somethin', yeah
And, given time, I pray you find your way
Things could be better
Things could really be alright
I wouldn't have to lie here
To myself, next to you at night
I tell myself it's cool
I say it happens every day
An' it's like walkin' through a fire
Just to keep the dogs away
All those yesterdays ain't nothin'
And tomorrow's even less than yesterday
Still I want for somethin', yeah
And so I pray I learn to live today
All those yesterdays ain't nothin'
And tomorrow's even less than yesterday
Still we want for somethin', yeah
And so I pray we find our way someday
