Beverly Jayne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vs 1
I know what you’re thinking
I’ve been down that way
Nothing to hold onto
Today
Your best foot is put forward
Your look with open eyes
The best you are expected

But surprise, surprise

Chorus

Things look better in the morning light
If you can get through the night
There’s a second chance when the morning comes
So hold on, hold on

Vs 2
I know what you’ve been through
You fall and stand and fall
The life you were expecting
Is no life at all
Your sun is still eclipsing
No matter how you try
Your open eyes are shifting

You cry
Chorus
