Nothing Better
Cory Morrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you could tell i was easy prey
and you had nothing better to do that day
you took my heart
my soul, my mind
and just enough of the man inside me
cause you had nothin better to do that day
i should've known
i should've seen
i should've fallen in love
with the music comes a voice
and a rythm couldnt get enough
i should've run like hell the other way
but i had nothing better to do that day
i knew it was a foolish game
i played along with it anyway
and i had nothing better to do that day
you had me strung along
i didn't care cause it turned me on
and i had nothin better to do that day
chorus.
i never got you off my mind
we were fast and we made good time
and i had nothing better to do that day
and now i spend my time alone
and i'm making up new love songs
cause i got nothing better to do these days
chorus.
no, i had nothin better to do that day,
one more time
The lyrics to Cory Morrow's song "Nothing Better" speak to the experience of a person who gets caught up in a frivolous and ultimately meaningless romantic relationship. The singer describes meeting someone who seems to be looking for a meaningless fling and, feeling vulnerable and perhaps bored themselves, getting swept up in the excitement of it all. The singer acknowledges that they should have known better, should have recognized the situation for what it was, but instead they find themselves falling into the trap of this person's seduction. Eventually, the relationship fizzles out and the singer is left alone, with nothing to do but think about what might have been.
