Better
Gretta Ray Lyrics

I know you miss salt water and aeroplane windows
Know you miss the way the world once kept you on your toes
You had your wheels in motion more often than not
It is odd sitting with the thought
That you spent most of summer, your nose to the grindstone
Bringing childhood dreams to life entirely on your own
Can picture it so clearly, that Sydney skyline turns to gold in afternoon light
You see it in hindsight

Now you wake up to the same day Where you realise so little has changed
And that’s a feeling hard to stomach
Still you get up, turn a new page
Let your insights seep into this space
There is something to gain from this
I promise if you

Wake with the sun, think of all that’s to come you’ll feel better, better, better
Dare to depend on your hope, call a friend
It’ll get better, better, better

I know you miss your grandfather
And travelling out to south east suburbs
If you saw a stranger smiling, would it lift your mood?
You wonder when you’ll next be seated in a restaurant with someone making up for all the lost time

You see in your mind: Meghan and Leah by the campfire
With an oversized wine glass in casual attire
Singing aloud along to Stevie
When you laugh hard, it’s an exhale
You will heal fast, shit talk ’til you’re telling tales and then talking about Phoebe

Believe me when you wake with the sun, think of all that’s to come, you feel better, better, better
Dare to depend on your hope, call a friend
It’ll get better, better, better
Go to the creek to feel whole
It sure is bleak now, but you bet it’ll get better
Better, better, better than it has been the whole year long
But life’s greatest barricades are bones for new songs

Return to yourself, thankful for your good health
Don’t you feel better, better, better?
Better, better, better when you wake with the sun, think of all that’s to come to feel better, better, better
Better, better, better
Dare to depend on your hope, call your friends
Make them feel better, better, better
Better, better, better
Go to the creek to feel whole
And though it’s bleak right, you can bet it’ll get better
Better, better, better than it has been the whole year long
But life’s greatest barricades were bones for these songs
