Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't have to talk, let's dance
For all the times you felt alone, dreaming better
I see better, better days
Too dumb to say goodbye that's some cliché shit, make me wanna cry
Just know that every time I look in your eye
I see better, I see better, better days
Down with history, up with your head
For sweet tomorrow, she never fell from grace
We might still know sorrow but we got better days
I seen better ways, some won't believe
But I don't need much more than faith
For all the times you felt alone
Dreaming better, dreaming better, better ways
Too dumb to say goodbye
Now that's some give up shit
Make me wanna cry
Just know that every time I look in your eye
I see better, I see better, better days
Try to remember, that you can forget
Down with history, up with your head
For sweet tomorrow, she never fell from grace
We might still know sorrow but we got better days
Better days
Guess who's back in town

Beautiful tribute to the breakthrough power of hope & love. To see Paris is Burning and The Boyfriend used as they were was a monumental choice for this song. Thank you!

These films are so good. Using marginalized people depicted in films to communicate their song's message. On point!
