laundry day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It don't get better than this, no
It don't get better than this
It don't get better than this
It don't get better than this
I need something to believe in
To tell the truth, I don't got a lot of friends even
It's okay, I'm awake while they all sleeping
Got along cause we all breathing
Didn't know that shooting stars could fall
From planets up above us all, us all
Tryna put you into focus
It's getting hard when you wanna make the world notice
Not the only one who knows this
Sun God, like a Lotus
Didn't know that shooting stars could fall
But now I think I've seen them all, them all
But Jane
I don't know you but you
Make me feel a way
Feel a way
It's hard to say
But these feelings just don't go away
Jane
Say to me, it don't get better than this
It don't get better than this, no
It don't get better than this
It don't get better than this
It don't get better than this
I've been working on myself
Puttin all of my problems on the top shelf
Getting used to the farewells
Long talks on the stairwells
Had a feeling you could be the one
But I'm afraid I've said too much, too much
But Jane
If we were to fly to Mars today
I'd hold your hand all the way
And shooting stars and outer space
Would never fade
Oh Jane
I don't know you but you
Make me feel a way
Feel a way
It's hard to say
But these feelings just don't go away
Jane
Say to me, it don't get better than this
It don't get better than this, no
It don't get better than this
It don't get better than this
It don't get better than this
Say to me
Say to me
Say to me

The second verse finds the singer reminiscing about a love that he lost. He talks about his work on himself and putting all his problems on the top shelf. He's getting used to farewells and engaging in long talks on stairwells. He believes he's found the one, but he's afraid he's said too much.
The chorus of the song is a repeated phrase that says, "Say to me, it don't get better than this. It don't get better than this, no."
