Things Can Only Get Better
D:Ream Lyrics

You can walk my path
You have the ability to follow in my footsteps and experience the same things that I have.

You can wear my shoes
You can step into my shoes and understand what it is like to be in my position.

Learn to talk like me and be an angel too
If you learn to communicate and behave like me, you can also become a positive force in the world.

But maybe you ain't never gonna feel this way
Perhaps you will never be able to fully comprehend my experiences or emotions.

You ain't never gonna know me, but I know you
You may never understand me, but I have learned about who you are.

Things can only get better
The future has the potential to improve and change for the better.

Can only get better if we see it through
To make things better, we must commit and work hard to reach our goals.

That means me and I mean you too
This applies to both of us, not just one person.

So teach me now that things can only get better
Show me how to improve our situation and make our future brighter.

They can only get, they only get, take it on from here
We must continue to work towards the positive future we desire.

You know I know that things can only get better
I believe that we have the ability to create a better future for ourselves.

I sometimes lose myself in me
I tend to become self-absorbed and lose track of what is going on around me.

I lose track of time
Sometimes I am not aware of how much time has passed.

And I can't see the woods for the trees
I struggle to see the big picture due to being overly focused on minor details.

You set them alight
You have a tendency to cause chaos and destruction.

Burn bridges as you go
You leave a trail of damaged relationships in your wake.

I'm too weak to fight you
I am not strong enough to confront you and your destructive behavior.

I've got my personal hell to deal with, then you say
I am already dealing with my own personal struggles, and then you add to my stress and difficulties.

Now I found you (and you and you)
Now that I have met you and others like you, I can understand the root of my problems.

You have shown me prejudice and greed
You have demonstrated discriminatory and selfish behavior to me.

And you've shown me how I must learn to deal with this disease
Your actions have taught me how to cope with negative people and situations.

I look at things now in a different light than I did before
As a result of my experiences, I have a new perspective on life.

And I've found the cause
I have discovered what is behind my struggles.

And I think you can be my cure
I believe that by learning from you and your actions, I can overcome my difficulties.

They can only get better
The future has the potential to improve and change for the better.

Will only get better
The future will only improve and become brighter.

So teach me to
Show me how to make our future better.

Now I found you (and you and you)
Now that I have met you and others, I feel more optimistic about our ability to improve our lives.

Things can only get better
The future has the potential to improve and change for the better.

They can only get better
The future will only improve and become brighter.

Now I found you
Now that I have met you, I feel more hopeful for our future.

Walk your path
Show me how you have overcome your struggles and learned from your experiences.

Wear your shoes
Let me experience what you have gone through and understand how it has shaped you.

Talk like that
Teach me how to communicate and behave like you, so I too can be successful.

I'll be an angel and things can only get better
If I learn from you and become like you, I can also help bring positivity and light into the world.

They can only get better
The future has the potential to improve and change for the better.

Now I found you (and you and you)
Now that I have met you and others, I feel more confident and capable of achieving a better future.
